You actually get experience to take a problem to light and enable it to be vital. More people need to learn it all and understand this particular aspect of the story.

You like me, you really really like me! Where was I? I think I was somewhere over the Arabian Sea at that time. Not sure which direction.

I really think that, if the incoming (media) message is wonky, the best thing to do is to turn the message off rather than struggle with it. Where TV is concerned, that cuts me off from current events/shows/ fashions, but I guess it's better than the alternative. I will be moving in with friends who have a TV and am worried that I will either get sucked into the movie channel, or start dieting/cosmetic-ing myself silly, to look like the TV women. I've been pretty good about not doing that, and I don't want to drop it now! Oh, I wasn’t trying to pick a fight.

Television as a whole is exceptionally dudely compared to other aspects of popular culture, such as flower shows, or oatmeal. Furthermore, in my livingroom, television is by far the dudeliest thing going. I sure do enjoy unsolicited writing advice from ill-mannered, parochial, anti-lyric young readers! But it strikes me in passing that their suggestions would make more sense if they endeavored to give them <em>before</em> they undergo their lobotomies. Speaking of lobotomy, I appreciate that Harpie may have deduced from the post that I haven't discovered the "off" switch on my television. Ha. After having made my recent study of it, I agree absolutely that TV is the primary artery through which a malign complacency or torpor is introduced into the brain, and that this complacency first takes the form of cognitive dissonance that eventually drives the viewer mad.

I feel like I get sucked into TV and start to internalize all the images of women. I think I have a much less 'skewed' idea of what I should look like/ act like than many of the other young women I work with, who try very hard to conform to the heterosexual, thin ideal. If the TV pisses you off, reduce your mental pollution and get rid of or stop watching it. Media portrayals of women, and women and men's relationships, are creepy. I think I've been a lot better off without taking in those media messages about what I should be. I can rent or borrow a DVD, but at least then I control what I'm going to see.
