For those of you who don't know the difference between the way women and men are treated in this society: only10% of all those with anorexia or bulemia are men, see http://www.anred.com/stats.html. Women make at most 80 cents to the dollar on average in jobs. See http://usgovinfo.about.com/cs/censusstatistic/a/womenspay.htm. Plus, the way womens' bodies are displayed in magazines, on television, etc. We're like dolls. And when I'm walking down the street, at least five guys a day are whistling or shouting something rude. A woman is reminded every day that she is a woman, and what her place in this society is.
