And other times, it’s a penis.
I meant to post about this August cover of Newsweek cover a while ago. A new post on Miss Representation on women women suing Newsweek (not for this) reminded me.
How does it feel to be a female journalist at a place where, on August 8, you saw this image everywhere you turned? I mean, seriously, a newsweekly? The newsweekly, I guess, they are trying to tell us by the name of this rag. Obviously a name change is in order. Any suggestions?
Margot. My daughter goes to a private school that has a seventies mentality about women (girls should be teachers and proper and boys should explore.) my daughter is a popular girl who likes boys and makeup, so her teachers wonder why she stands up to the unfairness in the school.
I am not a feminist (I think there is a line where women are women and men are men), but I do not believer in pushing girls to be teachers and nurses (society forced me to be a teacher).
Anyways… Any tips?
Hi Kelly,
Yes! Talk to the teachers!
And you sound like a feminist to me.

Thank You! I did a meeting with some other mothers about it.
Hi Kelly,
That’s great! the moms are meeting with the teacher? Please report back. I’d love to know how it went.
MM
Yes. A couple of mothers are calling an emergency PTA meeting.
Hi Kelly !
you do not believe in pushing girls to be ONLY teachers and nurses ?
Welcome to us feminists ! It´s not a shame – be proud of it !
Greetings,

How utterly gross. Yikes! Why do some people feel the need to sexualize everything?
