paprika spice"As modern ladies of marrying age, our trusty inadequacy paradigm has always gone something like this: "I'm too fat for the men I like." "I'm too ugly to get married." "I'm too old to find a guy." Blah blah blah, fart, repeat, dead (the lifecycle of the human woman). And lately, this other sort of protest-too-much inversion seems fashionable: "I'm too smart/too pretty/too successful/too interesting/too funny/too outspoken to bag a man!" No matter what or who we (hetero) women are, we are always too something for men. Isn't that just fucked? Because to be "too" something implies that there's a something else out there to aim for. But there isn't. IT'S A TRAP. "

oritsuruHow to Speak in Public Without Fear
-
But this requires you to do two things that are kind of uncomfortable in American society: talk about money, and try to get someone to do you a favor.
-
But constantly trying to please other people in the end leads to stress and sometimes depression.
-
Each time you hesitate or avoid asking for what you want you've bowed to these messages
-
. The vast majority of women could be more assertive and still be far from bitchy in reality. When you're called that, it's usually because you didn't do what someone else wants –- in which case, kudos to you!
-
fore you negotiate, do some research into who has the authority to give you the best price. And if someone tells you they don't have the authority to negotiate with you, consider asking to talk to someone who can.
-
Advance preparation is the key. If you want to ask for a raise, you don't just go in and ask for it, you prepare your business case in advance and practice delivering it to a friend before you speak with the boss. Or if you want to have a difficult conversation with your mother-in-law, write down in advance what you want to talk about, why it's important to you and what you'd like to see happen in the future. Then stick to the script. The more you do this, the easier it becomes.
-
Think about why someone might want to say yes to you, not just why they'd want to say no.
-
If you are ever asked to do something that you are not sure about always say, "I'll think about it and get back to you."
-
nobody's going to go lower than your first offer.
-
Maxey told me that many of the female speakers she works with have a problem with tentative phrasing — kind of, sort of, I think, etc. Girls often get socialized early on to be less than firm about their opinion, which can cause a lot of problems — one of them being a less convincing speech. In the grand scheme of things, we should be teaching girls and boys that girls' opinions are equally valid and don't need to be couched in a lot of conciliatory language. But on the small scale, you can help yourself by cutting this kind of language from your presentations. Another tip I try to remember is to end my sentences on a falling inflection, so it doesn't sound like I'm asking a question. Remember, when you're giving a speech or presentation, you are telling your audience about something. You're important, and you get to act like it. And if you do, they'll be more likely to listen to what you have to say.
-
get in the practice of hearing "no" as "not yet."
-
assertiveness is about expressing yourself clearly while showing concern for others.
-
"don't use preambles before getting to the point."
-
It's tempting to lead up to your request or complaint with a bunch of equivocal language, but that can just confuse listeners and prevent you from getting your point across.
-
Maybe that means not saying sorry when somebody else bumps into you. Or it could mean asking for clarification rather than pretending you understand.
-
No deal is better than a bad deal.
-
admitting you don't know something actually shows you're confident
-
you know you're smart, and you're not worried that the other person is going to doubt your intelligence
-
And asking questions when you need to can build confidence too — you'll have the information you need, and people will often take you more seriously when you make the effort to seek it.

The rats developed inflammation in the hypothalamus, a part of the brain that helps control weight and hunger. What's more, the inflammation appeared after just a single day, before the rats actually gained any weight. To see if the effect appeared in humans, the researchers also did brain scans on 35 obese subjects, and found evidence consistent with inflammation in their hypothalami as well. The study authors write, "These findings collectively suggest that, in both humans and rodent models, obesity is associated with neuronal injury in a brain area crucial for body weight control."

It's not that women our own age are less attractive, it's that they lack the culturally-based power to reassure our fragile, aging egos that we are still hot and hip and filled with potential.
-
Older women are encouraged to fight what one called "the slow slide into sexual invisibility" not only with cosmetics, but with the realistic acceptance of their own aging.
-
that same data shows that men fight the same "slow slide" with frantic denial, a denial that manifests itself in a compulsive need to pursue women substantially younger than themselves, all the while pleading to be seen as atypical for their age.
-
The question is, to whom do we want to be sexually "visible?" For too many straight men, it seems, the sexual validation of their female peers is less ego-soothing

WGST 303 UM-DearbornA great resource for discussion of current feminist issues in the news. Also, the comments on each post usually expand upon the article, and are a wonderful way to see the plurality of different feminisms in action.
