This week’s book quote for you

On the chapter titled, “The Glory behind the Grime” in Sacred Parenting, regarding Britney Spears in her “heyday” as a sex icon & Debra Winger ‘retiring’ from acting at age 39:

“Something is wrong - profoundly wrong - when a girl defines sexual desirability and a woman is viewed as past her prime before she reaches her forties”

oh, i could go on & on….that is one of my favorite soap boxes of late (teenage bodies are sexy, but post-motherhood (or in the process of..) bodies should not be put in bathingsuits, when it’s the mom’s who are the ones who are supposed to be….well, having sex…not teenagers) but I will stop there.

    What pisses me off is when Dads allow their 13 year old daughters to wear shorts with stuff like “hottie” written on the A$$.

    You sir, are an idiot.

    And that is my soapbox…

    […] you may guess…not an entirely productive morning…arg…). This tends to be one of my soapboxes as well, so thought i’d ’spread the word’. It’s just a little protest […]
