I didn't judge anything or anyone except for the editorial decision of one magazine. I'd love to hear about Diane Garnick, but don't know who she is.

I couldn't agree more. I'm fighting an uphill battle with society in general at the moment with my 5-and-7-year-olds. Not only is the media pelting them, but their friends at school. Insanity if you ask me. No good end of this behavior. Well-said. I couldn’t agree more. I’m fighting an uphill battle with society in general at the moment with my 5-and-7-year-olds.

Very well written post. I'm sadly not surprised, but still appalled that Teen Vogue would stoop so low. My compliments to you for your dedication in protecting your daughters from the influences of the mass media. Just finally getting around to reading the POTW entries. Very well written post.

I'm glad you're speaking out, I sometimes feel like I'm, swimming against the stream these days by limiting what my children do. I was considering some of the new shows/books coming out and how much I would've liked them, but we have that policy too about whether or not we would watch /read something ... it makes me sad that the world is making our children into mini-adults.
