Working Women

. . . in a time lacking truth and certainty and filled with anguish and despair, no woman should be shamefaced in attempting to give back to the world, through her work, a portion of its lost heart. Louise Bogan, as excerpted from Sarah Ban Breathnach’s Simple Abundance: A Daybook of Comfort and Joy. .

Princess Cosmo, the New Love Crack

Hang these faux Disney mags in your preschooler’s room to ensure future Cosmo Sales. These realistic covers will ensure desperation for male attention, hatred of mothers, and poor body image pre-puberty. One word: NO! Read the whole article on Jezebel.com. Photos from Jezebel.com. Don’t buy it and it disappears.

Letter to B.K. about Butt Rap

After seeing the Kid’s Meal commercial recently issued by Burger King tying Butt Rap, Booty Dancing and Sponge Bob Square Pants together in the Psyche of America one of The Girl Revolution readers took action. To Whom it May Concern: The first time the Sponge bob/Burger King commercial aired I burst into laughter, my husband […]

How to Make a Dream Board

Make a list of things you want in your life and make a picture collage out of it. Teach your children how to make one too. Or let them teach you. Include things, relationships, connections, people, God, feelings, etc. Use symbols and symbolism, words and photos, that are meaningful to YOU. Use magazines with positive […]

Girls Talk Sex on Oprah

Following last week’s show and talking to your kids about sex and the whole vibrator thing – I think America was somewhat shocked that it had you know. . . . gone this far. Do girls masturbate? Well, yes Gail King, they do. And some of us are okay with that. (The ones who masturbate/masturbated? […]

Worth Paying Taxes For

There are some things worth paying taxes for . . . Roads. Schools. Libraries. Police Force. Fire Men. Health Care. Top on the list is enough FBI Agents and resources to hunt down and prosecute Sexual Predators stalking our children for their own sick psycho-sexual pleasure. I’m pretty much willing to pay whatever it takes […]

Hannah Montana, The Movie

If you want to win Mother-of-the-Year take your kids to see Hannah Montana, The Movie. I took Ainsley and her BFF on opening day and they both loved it. The plot, I’ll warn you now, is the exact same plot of every single one of the television episodes, but evidently some people (children) don’t get […]

OMG! Controversial Laura Berman Touts Vibrators for Teens!

Oh My Gosh! Did anyone catch the Oprah on How to Have the Sex Talk yesterday? Dr. Laura Berman, the beautiful and non-threatening sex therapist and author of Real Sex for Real Women, walked us through a very nice and forthright conversation we can have with our tweens. I was down with that. I even […]

Easter True Mom Confessions

I’m reusing the eggs from last year and from the various Easter Egg Hunts. I picked up the egg dye and baskets at a garage sale and I’m about to see what I can scrounge up from thrift stores, not because I don’t have any money, but because I don’t want to spend it on […]

F.U. B. K.

This would be funny on Saturday Night Live or John Stewart. As actual marketing targeted to children its disrespectful and inappropriate. Parents can effectively fight this kind of nonsense. Write a protest letter to Nickolodean, Sponge Bob Square Pants and Burger King and tell them to stop sexualizing girls using cartoon characters, kid’s meals and […]

Christiane Northrup, MD on HPV Vaccine

I’m a waffler when it comes to the HPV Vaccine, a vaccine preventing some types of the human papillomavirus virus that can cause cervical cancer, for young girls. I want to prevent my daughter from getting HPV. But, I’ve read The Handmaiden’s Tale and I’m concerned about vaccinating an entire generation of girls with something […]
