FASCINATING: This is an article I stole from The Quitters, and I happen to disagree with it thoroughly -- but I suggest that it's worth reading anyway. In it, a couple of professors attempt to categorize and label a group of young women as attempting to be "effortlessly perfect," and then go on to suggest that this is acceptable because we don't know how to change it -- at least, that's what I get out of it. I wonder if that's the wrong conclusion, if this phenomenon seems prevalent to anyone else, and if anyone else gets the impression that these writers are way off base?
