I agree that "pink think" still exists today. It is disappointing to think of how many women try to shape themselves to be what men want instead of just trying to be themselves instead. Through finding the right makeups to having the right body type to acting in a proper way around men, women try too hard to please the opposite sex.
I will admit, I am one of those girls who cannot leave the house without makeup on. Though this does boost my self-confidence, it could also be because I know that men are going to be more attracted to me (hopefully). I know so many friends that are now dieting just to be one of those girls that looks like someone right out of a magazine. I also find many of my friends and sometimes even myself acting a certain way because I believe that it is going to attract a guy's attention.
How wrong I wish I was. Men should love women for what they are, not for what they attempt to be and how much effort they put into that attempt. It is sad to think of how many people truly adapt to each of these situations just for love. Love should be about what you are like even at your worst times, not simply about how you seem at your best times.
Geek think seems to me as something that would require an avid knowledge of computers and technology of all sorts. In fact, I know some people that would be included as people who believe in geek think. Without knowing as much about computers as they do, they do not think that they are going to be able to get the jobs that they wish to have. In fact, they now are learning MORE about computers to expand their knowledge. In doing this, they are guaranteeing that they are secure in the job market, knowing everything that there is to know about their specific area of study. This is a very good way to stay ahead of the job market, even though it is not needed at this time. Someday, they are going to realize that they truly prepared for their future while everyone else is then going to be learning about the updates to software and programs that these people in fact learned years before.

I agree with you on the whole geeks being prepared for society, while they may be getting made fun of for their brilliance at the moment...
I could not agree more. Women in general have been faced with an unrealistic ideal body image that is forcing more and more teenage girls into eating disorders and poor self-esteem. I can only hope that as time moves on women as a collective whole pull together and band against this type of pressure.
yes, the pressure to be thin is immense; advertising, movies, etc. Yet TV shows these super thin women on the sitcoms, then every ten minutes you get a McDonald's commercial - go figure!
