"n the first photo, Marilyn is compared to another woman in a bikini, who is much thinner. The text reads: ""This [pointing to Monroe] is more attractive than this [pointing to the other woman]."" While I can totally get behind the title ""fuck society,"" and add ""and its stupid expectations"" for good measure, there's nothing anti-establishment about what's being done here. This is a common tactic, in which women are pitted against each other, so that we lose sight of the real problem: namely, society.The thought behind this comparison photo is to turn the dominant paradigm on its head, but what it really does is reinforce that for one woman to be good, another must be bad. And that kind of thinking isn't going to get us anywhere. The second is the same photo of Marilyn, this time alone in the Motivational Poster style. The text reads: ""PROOF: That you can be adored by thousands of men, even when your thighs touch."" From the start this would seem like a better message. No comparison photo, no pitting women against each other. For some reason, though, this photo troubles and angers me more than the first one does. Because here's the thing: you are worth more than what men think of you.  (via The Marilyn Meme - Shameless Magazine - your daily dose of fresh feminism for girls and trans youth) great analysis"
