Here is a brief excerpt:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Once the photos are published, I\u0432\u0402\u2122ve heard many comments, sometimes angry, from women about how they think the women they see in the photographs feel about themselves, and usually they are wrong in their assessment.  Generally, if a woman perceives another woman as more attractive than herself, she will also assume that the \u0432\u0402?more attractive\u0432\u0402\u2122 woman feels better about herself. In other words, if a heavier woman sees a thinner woman, she will assume that there are no body issues to go along with that thinner body. This is simply not a true generalization.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>The thread continues through the week.<\/p>\n<p><strong><img loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Planet Waves\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.planetwavesweekly.com\/resources\/images\/sign_white.jpg?resize=185%2C45&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Eric Francis\" vspace=\"5\" width=\"185\" height=\"45\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Here are a few things I\u0432\u0402\u2122ve learned. First, few women have anything nice to say about their bodies, or themselves. They seem to like themselves in parts (she might feel her breasts are good enough, and be proud of this fact); they dislike themselves in parts (some express outright hatred of their breasts, and most women shun, dislike or are disgusted by their pussy, which I will come back to); and most have little awareness of the whole person they are. I have photographed women who were embarrassed beyond any common sense that the outline of their nipples could be seen; a woman who claimed spiritual enlightenment but was repelled by seeing her slight double chin; and so on.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"generate_page_header":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/planetwaves.net\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/12589"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/planetwaves.net\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/planetwaves.net\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/planetwaves.net\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/planetwaves.net\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=12589"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/planetwaves.net\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/12589\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/planetwaves.net\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=12589"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/planetwaves.net\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=12589"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/planetwaves.net\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=12589"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
