Hi to everyone! I just got back from traveling and such but... my feminist blinkers have gone off this entire summer! There are so many things to talk about but I will focus on one for now.
There is this movie called "Tootsie" with Dustin Hoffman and it is about a man who can't find a job, so he decides to dress up as a woman and try his luck in the job market. He gets cast in a soap opera and comedy ensues. But it was behind the scenes that made an impact on the actor. In the interview below, he explains his process of turning into a woman and gaining a perspective on what women have known for awhile.
Here is the link to the interview:

Watch the interview and please leave a comment! :)
Personally, I surprised by his reaction and it gave me a perspective on how men see the stereotypes and pressures that women have to face. The constant commercials that plague women with images about the ideal size and look that they have to achieve with the latest makeup or diet trends.
