Today has ended better than it began....

More human than human

How vain are the next generation ? Well judging by Face Book, very. Everybody wants to look like a model. The profile photo is no longer a quick snap shot holding a phone up to a mirror, in fact Ive seen some that are clearly the work of a professional photographer. Now these are in the minority at the moment, but you can see the way the future is going. Appearance seems to be a young woman's priority,and I don't know where that leaves equality...
   This obvious beauty is becoming ugly as the pressure and desperation that I know lurk below are exposed. Worst of all is the fact that they dress to impress men, not boys their own age. They cant wait to become a woman. As I said I'm not sure this tallies up with the whole sexual equality and gender stereotypes arguments. Maybe they are resorting to type, maybe they are responding to a greater pressure of male expectation. What ever it is I hope my daughter will not be drawn into it, but I hold no hope in that department. The seeds are sown.
