I know there's a lot of cynicism about what Dove's doing with these campaigns (and aren't they from the same parent company that makes the obnoxious Axe for sexist guys?) but I've got to say that I applaud the Dove creative team just the same. Look, the way I see it, anything that creates conversation and upsets some assumptions and gets people thinking about how we judge others and (more importantly) ourselves -- and gets to girls when they're young enough to have a chance of escaping some of the weird hangups that we adult women have absorbed along the way -- well, that's got to be a good thing! rjleaman´s last blog post..Cheap and Easy Homemade Vegetable Broth

My thanks to the mother who is raising her sons to be part of the solution not the problem. One of the readers of “On Being a Real Princess, Secrets of the Happy Heart Princess”, (a book on values and self esteem) commented that it was an important book not only for girls but for boys so they could recognize a REAL princess when she came along.

Well, first of all, i hope the last commenter got her sentence backwards (part of the solution). This is a serious issue, and I'm well aware of it with two very young girls. I applaud the Dove campaign, and hope others follow suit, but honestly I'm not expecting it. Right now this is a drop in the bucket. Parents need to be extremely vigilant with helping their girls build a good self-image. And we're starting to see boys succumb to this kind of pressure more and more as well. I'd like to see that nipped in the bud before we end up in the same problem with both genders. Jeff´s last blog post..“Heroes” hits bottom and grabs for the shovel

I don’t have daughters but my plan is to raise young men who are part of the problem, not the solution.

I’m posting a link on my forums, http://www.ihmmb.com – I am sure that many of the moms on my site will find the resources in this post very useful and will be interested in entering your contest. Thanks for spreading the word!

Thanks for a brilliant post Julie. Although I am a male I have noticed that when you watch a TV show nearly all the women look like glamour models, whereas the men can be plain. All the teen magazines show beautiful women too. Too much media pressure is put on young girls when they are at a sensitive age and something needs to be done about it. This Dove Campaign is a step in the right direction Mark´s last blog post..QE2 retires from service after 40 years.

this program is a great idea. i know when i was a teenager there was so much social pressure, and i never felt like i measured up. maybe that's one of the reasons i still feel that way now. and, i'm sure the pressure to fit in has just increased for girls. cady´s last blog post..Photo Book Coupons
