Attitudes about Women and my Life
Within my life there are so many amazing people that I have the privilege of interacting with. I consistently see them degrading themselves based on the world's view points on womanhood and femininity. Within this project I want to point out the contrast between how the world's view points of people differs greatly from my view point of them.
