“The 'enduring theme' [in fiction] of male competition and female competition for the hero/survivor has taken us from the fittest surviving to the brink of no one surviving. Sex roles have gone from functional to dysfunctional almost overnight. This is why the enduring theme must be questioned now.” SexFictionRolesGoneTakenHeroFemaleCompetitionEndureMalesThemeSurvivorSurviving Author:Warren Farrell
“Since social media has become so big, body image has taken a downward spiral. Especially in surfing, because we're in bikinis all day, we're really critiqued. After a competition, social media will just be talking about who looked better in a bikini instead of who surfed better. It's not even about the results anymore, so much is body. And that's really frustrating at times.” BodyBigsSocialResultsTalkingTakenMediaCompetitionSocial MediaFrustratingBody ImageSurfingSpiralsBikinisDownward Spiral Author:Coco Ho
