Here's a good one

I was looking at the CNN website today, as it is a trusted news source for all Americans, generally reporting on pertinent global information, right? Well, today one of the headlining stories read "Young women drink, party, post" in reference to college girls 'gone wild' on facebook. It reports that facebook is a conglomerate of young college-age girls partying all night, then taking drunken pictures of themselves and posting them on the site. As if girls our age dont already get a bad rap for partying--let's post it on CNN!! I am no stranger to facebook, nor will I lie and say I dont have an over-abundance of 'photo albums' full of 'party pics' and witty taglines, so I really dont see the harm in posting funny pictures of you and your friends on your webpage. But after reading this article, I now realize that apparently it is funny to post pictures of girls throwing up, passing out, or urinating in public (how classy!) In the article one girl talks about the issues news coverage--she says something along the lines of-when girls party they are out of control, but when college age guys drink, well they are just being boys! This is another example of how the media uses gender and stereotyping to cover a story! Just a word to the wise-on nights of binge drinking and party-fouls, leave the cameras at home ladies!!
