Re: Actually..

I feel comfortable saying that it is literally impossible for a parent to shield a young daughter from unhealthy images in the media. I agree a parent can do what they can to send positive messages to their kids and help them build self-esteem, but it's simply not possible to keep your daughter away from an extraordinarily skewed industry of tiny, especially unnaturally tiny female bodies.

It's a lot more possible once you get rid of the tv. Seriously, I have not seen a commercial for make-up, fad diets, clothes, or any other crap since I moved away from a television.

Kids don't have to own Barbies or Bratz dolls or anything to internalize that thin=beautiful and desirable. By the time I hit puberty, I hated my body because I was short and dumpy and no matter what I did I'd never have a body like Jessica Rabbit. I didn't own any Barbies growing up, Bratz dolls didn't exist yet, and I didn't exactly want to be thin. I wanted the kind of exaggerated hourglass figure that's not really possible in the real world, even for people who win the genetic lottery, which I definitely didn't. My parents didn't buy me fashion dolls or let me watch tv much or buy me age-inappropriate clothes. It didn't matter. Peer groups and pop culture totally overrode all the carefully constructed body-positivity and anti-consumerist ideals my parents tried to instill in me. And I've been an adult for awhile and still hate my body some days for not being something that's literally not possible. We literally steep in this culture as we grow.
