What about no make-up or not shaving legs or not showing so much skin? dont you think you are a victim yourself?" <br /><br />We don't have to throw away make up and our razors and decide to dress modestly in order to feel empowered and feminist...<br /><br />this kind of thinking is backwards to the kind of movement I'd want to be apart of.Jenny Morrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04259166156528244505noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3506518182959762483.post-35956135341951267502010-11-30T14:00:23.473-08:002010-11-30T14:00:23.473-08:00In high school, I went to an activist camp in brit...In high school, I went to an activist camp in british columbia...<br /><br />one day the boys split from the girls to talk about "gender" all day. so what did the girls talk about? our bodies, eating disorders, how much pressure there was to look and be a certain way...<br /><br />no solutions were offered, no alternatives, no empowerment, no feminism. i left that session feeling bad about myself and my body and my gender. <br /><br />I want a magazine that combats this and offers solutions for change. <br /><br />You say we should completely side step this industry and focus on other things...YES FOR SURE! But I think it would be destructive to completely ignore image issues...if it wasn't relevant and important to our young lives, we wouldn't have spent the whole day talking about image issues on gender day...<br /><br />for sure, we should be opening up the scope of feminism for girls that moves away from obsessing about looks...but have you thought that maybe girls WANT to enter feminism by engaging in "the beauty myth"? i know for myself, on that day at camp, I knew I wanted more! I wanted my girlhood to be about more than looks and body image..,but i also needed solutions! I needed revolution...maybe then i wouldn't have left that session feeling self conscious but empowered instead.Jenny Morrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04259166156528244505noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3506518182959762483.post-7209334214113381782010-11-30T13:29:58.010-08:002010-11-30T13:29:58.010-08:00ok, i think I got your point.

It would be way more revolutionary to have a magazine that says fuck beauty completely...what would you like to see? <br /><br />but I think its relevant (and fun) to expose and be critical about the way fashion and beauty magazines have conventionally worked to bring us down. I think this is the sort of thing they would be interested in reading in the context of fashion/feminist magazine for teen girls. <br /><br />Can I direct you to Margaret Cho's last words from her notorious tour? I think if a teen magazine for girls could capture her sentiments about self esteem and self love it would be incredibly powerful. what do you think? <br /><br />http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E4YvC1mqUrw&feature=player_embeddedJenny Morrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04259166156528244505noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3506518182959762483.post-22649186022931346862010-11-28T11:03:02.946-08:002010-11-28T11:03:02.946-08:00you want bigger girls, queer people and other in a...you want bigger girls, queer people and other in a magazine to show that they are also beautiful. its all about beauty. where is the feminism when its just about being beautiful?<br />you think its better, because its new and different, but you also only want to be admired, nothing else. no feminism. thats so pathetic!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3506518182959762483.post-4746398720566439812010-11-23T11:48:32.897-08:002010-11-23T11:48:32.897-08:00The Silent Partner - you are so mysterious!
