Truth is a difficult word for me to digest because it's subjective and depends on who's doing the interpreting.
Feminist Film had some interesting commentary on the posters.

The "Truth" about 2011's Oscar Nominated Films
The Guardian has posted some thought-provoking, and I would argue controversial movie posters under the tagline: if posters told the truth - in pictures...

What I've Been Reading
I've been reading some great, interesting, and strange articles lately that I'd like to share.
Stanford study found that social media is hurting young girls' social development.
Are the movie posters for French actor, Jean Dujardin's new film too provocative?
Male Birth Control: Check out this study about male contraception that decreases amount of sperm.
I loved Viola's Davis's speech at the SAG Awards. If you haven't seen it, WATCH IT! With that in mind, I was sad to read this article where Octavia Spencer discusses her unhealthy weight. Can't we focus on the film's accolades instead of the weight of its actresses?
Scary story about a young girl who is protesting the inclusion of transgender children in Girl Scouts. Question: When and where should LGBTQ education begin? Just when I think we are taking steps forward, I see that we are moving backwards. A bill that went into effect in California on January 1st to include LGBTQ historical figures in history curriculum is meeting some roadblocks.
Some thoughts from a fellow single woman.

Film, What to Expect When You're Expecting, Glamorizes Pregnancy
So, the movie posters for the film, What to Expect When You're Expecting were recently released. A couple of examples are below:
Here's what I'm getting from these posters:
-All pregnant women are beautiful, white, and in shape and look like there's a basketball under their shirts?!
-I think my biggest problem with these posters is that they make these women sound stupid. Isn't pregnancy about having a child not about how horny a woman is or how big her boobs are? So pregnant women are not capable of having thoughts due to "pregnancy brain"?
