The glorification of the "slut" as a role model (not that there is anything wrong with that) is worse than ever and I feel like the media is telling girls that's the ONLY way to succeed or be noticed. Even the Disney stars... well actually they're the worst but you know what I mean.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08304644905681662130noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6178295172697257330.post-9890184598074734602010-12-13T23:34:15.361-08:002010-12-13T23:34:15.361-08:00I was too young for riot grrrl. But none the less...I was too young for riot grrrl. But none the less these are the bands and the songs that raised me as a child. Most elementary school kids go to McDonalds for fun. I went to record stores. When everyone in my class was reading Tiger Beat I was reading Sassy and Rolling Stone. No I didn't really get the half of it, but the music never left me and without a doubt the impact it had and still continues to have on my life was HUGE. It kills me that these bands are being forgotten. I feel like more than ever girls today need female influences of this nature to look up to. My sister is going to Wellesley (an all girls school know for it's extremely liberal feminist views) for christ's sake and does not know a single women's studies major! It sickens me. I'm trying my hardest to get her to take just one women's study class before she graduates and she's not it'll happen. It's not a priority, nor is it for the majority of her classmates.Jenniferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01255531888895044755noreply@blogger.com
