Keep these things in mind, he should respect her autonomy. He can be concerned for her, but she’s a person who is capable of making her own decisions and that should be respected. If he’s being too possessive, or controlling, he should be called out on it, by the girl herself or by someone else. Maybe part of his character development is to learn how to be in a good relationship.She’s not an object or a prize to be won.

Like the process of photographing itself,Katherine Wolkoff’s work documents clues and exposes traces.
Her series “Nocturne” (2005-2007) takes you through trees illuminated by the moon and portraits lit like candles. “Found” (2006) documents a series of stuffed birds, silhouetted and touched with color, which could pass as paper cutouts.
The Sasha Wolf Gallery will be showing Wolkoff’s 2007 series, “Deer Beds,” May 8th through June 30th. This work, evidence of the nocturnal nesting of deer on Block Island, quietly exposes what is left behind.
Two pieces from her new body of work, “Bonsai,” will also be shown: bonsai silhouettes made at the Brooklyn Botanical Garden. Drawing you in, the pristine images invite you to contemplate the miniature and the gigantic.

Women, too, have been socialized to believe that the ultimate arbiters of their appearance are men, that anything they do with their appearance is or should be “for men.” That’s why women’s magazines trip over themselves to offer up advice on “what he wants to see you wearing” and “what men think of these current fashion trends” and “wow him with these new hairstyles.” While women can and do judge each other’s appearance harshly, many of us grew up being told by mothers, sisters, and female strangers that we’ll never “get a man” or “keep a man” unless we do X or lose some fat from Y, unless we moisturize//trim/shave/push up/hide/show/”flatter”/paint/dye/exfoliate/pierce/surgically alter this or that.
That’s also why when a woman wears revealing clothes, it’s okay, in our society, to assume that she’s “looking for attention” or that she’s a slut and wants to sleep with a bunch of guys. Because why else would a woman wear revealing clothes if not for the benefit of men and to communicate her sexual availability to them, right? It can’t possibly have anything to do with the fact that it’s hot out or it’s more comfortable or she likes how she looks in it or everything else is in the laundry or she wants to get a tan or maybe she likes women and wants attention from them, not from men?
The result of all this is that many men, even kind and well-meaning men, believe, however subconsciously, that women’s bodies are for them. They are for them to look at, for them to pass judgment on, for them to bless with a compliment if they deign to do so. They are not for women to enjoy, take pride in, love, accept, explore, show off, or hide as they please. They are for men and their pleasure.

Touche of the Day: Game Dev Tycoon School Pirates with a Clever In-Game Event
Greenheart Games has come up with a clever, refreshing way to discourage its patrons from pirating video games. Minutes after releasing their latest title Game Dev Tycoon last Sunday, the developers intentionally leaked a free “cracked” version of the game on a torrent site, and with the help of a few seeding friends, more than 3,104 users, or nearly 94% of all players, had downloaded the illegal copy within the first day. What none of them had realized is that the “cracked” version was designed for failure: after a few hours of gameplay, the player’s virtual game development company’s titles would become victims of piracy themselves, causing them to slowly go bankrupt.
