Patriarchy still whispers in the lives of everyday women. I am politely reminded that some things are
best left unsaid and unseen, like my period. This work explores the ways in the act of “playing” can
subvert shame. Additionally, how the Internet and User Generated social media platforms provide the
opportunity for women to cope with the shame inscribed on their bodies. This performance and
production of “self” on social media sites is an opportunity for women to understand and reclaim their
identities and bodies.
