[QUOTE="DaisyFace, post: 503352, member: 6546"] Susie-- I answer to your question: Do I think that there is a new emphasis on "pretty" and focusing on one's appearance - (setting the feminist movement back several giant steps) ?? Absolutely! I do think that we (as a society) are objectifying our daughters worse than ever before. How to fix it? For starters - turn off the TV once in a while! We don't need to watch any more shows about how we need to look, or dress, or impress the judges with our appearance. Second - get kids involved in "real world" activities that benefit the community. Scouts is good. Volunteer opportunities are good. Third - make sure kids get to experience many different kinds of people in many different kinds of situations (see "volunteer opportunities" above). It's hard to emphasize appearance and "pretty" when one is collecting toothbrushes for kids in other countries at risk of losing their teeth due to non-existant dental care. Just my $.02 [/QUOTE]
