1. Awesome!

I am 50000 years old and I have a son not a daughter, but boy is this important. I needed that when I was growing up. I'll share it with my friends who have girls. Thanks!!!

5. the more the media seeks to commodify girls

and the more the rightwing seeks to limit their choices about their own self

and the more women lose representation in congress......

I just don't know, but it is not good.

Kick, again, for just one more rec.

It was truly amazing, very well done and something everyone should see.
