Before + After Pics Are Harmful. Stop Adding To Them.
The media: you’re guilty. You posit campaigns like #likeagirl – and then feed audiences images that destroy their sense of self worth. Red circles drawn around cellulite: the lifeblood of Heat magazine for years. Before and After Culture is toxic to self worth Or worse – you print page after page of the dreaded before-and-after…

Oh no! Renee Zellwegger Aged Because She Got Older.
I wish the Daily Mail would calm the fuck down. “OH GOD IT’S LIKE SHE HAS A DIFFERENT FACE!!!!” becries almost every syndicated blog ever in the last 6 hours.

IMPRISONED FOR POSTING ON FACEBOOK: SAVE JABEUR
Something that drives modern society is the Top Dog mentality: that one has to domineer above all others.
