Beperkt Houdbaar (Best before...)

This evening I watched the documentary "Beperkt Houdbaar".
It's about how women tend to look at themselves and compares themselves to the images they see in beauty magazines and on billboards.
I know we photoshop the hell out of every feminine image we get to see.
I know there are no woman out there, who could possibly look like these images.
But growing up amongst guys, and especially the last couple of years on a campus dominated by men... I am wondering... do these guys know that?
One sentence in the docu struck me, I do not know the exact phrases, but it was something about people looking with their hearts, in stead of looking with their beauty measuring tools. I felt glad I was surrounded by so many people who where looking at me with their hearts. But then I started thinking, part of being an accepted woman in a group of men is being able to judge other women by the beauty measuring tools. (Look at her... oh yeah thanks, I nearly missed her..)
So now I do feel weird, for being the only girl in a group being looked at with a heart.. and I feel guilty for judging, where I should be the one to know why you shouldn't.

About the beperkt houdbaar.. well I guess the US is the ultimate crazy place to be where everything's use by date (okay that sounded really bad) can be extended. But walking around with a bunch of guys and being the unconditionally loved one doesn't only make you realise you should be the one to set their thoughts straigt on judging the out-group, It also makes you realise that when you are part of the out-group you are going to be judged... AWKWARD!
I overtook a bunch of Harley drivers yesterday, I was cycling and they were stuck in traffic and to big to cruize bewteen like I did. One bog balck guy tried to intimidate me by driving really close to me and hanging over to my side so I flashed him a big smile and I did the shakka (instead of waving like they do in the Netherlands, and became in-group on the spot...) I saw them again later (I cut through and they were fast) and I got a shakka from all of them and they blasted their music a little louder for me. haha
I'm sooo cool! LOL
