A Facebook profile picture is often said to be an online representation of an individual person. In this project, I will group and analyze 50 of my female Facebook friends, and see what they suggest about modern day feminism.

That was really interesting! I liked the comparison with the old photos of women.
I especially liked the idea of analyzing the comments on the photos, and the wordle was a great way to represent that, but I would've liked to hear more about what the significance of those words are, or maybe which words were used more on which category and what that might mean.
Thanks for sharing!
A fascinating look into how your female Facebook friends portray an "ideal" woman. Although you explained that you don't believe in a single portrayal of a desirable woman, what made you choose those adjectives? How did you decide how to categorize the profile pictures of your friends using those words?
I liked how you mentioned that everyone is smiling in their photos. Actually, there are a few photos of people who aren't smiling. Why do you think you didn't notice this? Or if you did notice this, why did you choose to ignore it? There is another belief that women should always be smiling, and perhaps there is something inherent in your decision or your unconscious decision to immediately describe everyone in their photos as smiling.
This was an interesting topic to discuss, and it was great to see how you talked in depth about how your female friend's Facebook profile photos displayed certain traits, but not in the traditional way people might see them in.
