Boy Bashing?

    Boy Bashing?   by Valerie Zilinsky

    Sometimes I admiration what these appearance designers are thinking. I apprehend an commodity in our bounded bi-weekly afresh which larboard me in wonder. What happened to babe power? Teaching our daughters to account themselves? Emphasizing self-esteem & animal equality?

    Now, it seems that anyone in the appearance industry absitively that it s a acceptable affair for our girls to blow about how they attending down on the macho gender. To them, it s air-conditioned to amusement men & boys like base objects. Is that declared to create our daughters feel bigger about themselves? Your babe can infact airing into a acclaimed administration abundance and acquirement shirts with sayings like:

    "Boys Lie"

    "Boys Are Abundant - Anybody Should Own One"

    "Lying, Cheating, Abhorrent Boys"

    Now, I accept no problem with girls cutting shirts that say things like "Girls Rule", or "Girls Are Great", but back if is it air-conditioned to allocution bad about anyone abroad to create ourselves feel better? Isn t that something that amenable adults are declared to advise our kids to NOT do?

    Not alone that, but can you brainstorm what kinds of things the men s & boy s administration will action aback with? Are you traveling to put your bottom down and draw the line, answer to the adolescent girls in your activity why this is NOT cool?

    I understand what I m traveling to do. I will not absorb a penny on these types of products. I will appetite others to do the same. If cipher is affairs them, there will be no charge to abide to create such aspersing clothing. I am not pro-censorship, but I am for alternate account of others - alleviative others how we ambition to be treated. If we say bad things about them, they will alotof acceptable do the aforementioned in return. This isn t the blazon of behavior that I wish to see my adolescent babe agreeable in as she gets older. If she is an adult, she can create her own decisions. This accouterment is getting marketed to our tweens & teens!

    My babe alone traveling on 5 years old appropriate now. But if this trend continues, I abhorrence to anticipate about what girls accouterment ability be adage in addition 5 or ten years. As a parent, I feel it is our job to advise our girls acceptable ethics and morals. How can it advice a adolescent affectable babe s self-esteem to be putting down others in such a abrupt way? Brainstorm the abuse that it can do to the self-image of today s youth. I achievement that whoever started it will see the absurdity in their ways, and the moms at the malls and administration food with their daughters will aboveboard appearance their disapproval.
