I love your comment and thank you so much for sharing your thoughts.
My abuser once said to me, "It would have been better for you if I physically hit you. At least then other people could see what I've done to you."
This is profound. Not only does it make me feel things I have buried deep down, but it also makes me feel stronger for some reason. Taking away real people and using the cartoon characters that I grew up with and loved it just hits home.
Hat's off to you, my dear.
I tried to find something that wouldn't give me any real Google results. I failed and shocked myself.
"Please, god, tell me there is some situation that an artist will not depict Disney Princesses in."

She and Sherri seemed like they would be the worst people to hang out with.
You guys. I am only admitting this because it's jezebel and I feel like I can tell y'all anything...

You're the Jez that works in makeup and fashion, right? I want to know from your lips / keyboard what to buy instead of that. Because I took one look and was just all "No."
Thanks for sharing your secrets with us, Willow! I sure hope Target doesn't get too mainstream once all the poors learn about it from your Teen Vogue interview.
I never watch The View so technically I don't really care if Rosie goes back to that show or not...
At first glance, I thought the picture of Hasselbeck was crazy Shannon from RHOOC.
Write some letters and tell them how you feel, you CAN'T be the only Mom who has a little girl who is rough on her jeans. Start a petition. Do something! Little girls deserve good jeans too and the company probably just didn't even think about it.
And if the company writes you back saying little girls should be in…
you could also reinforce them by ironing denim patches inside the whole knee area, not a perfect solution, but maybe easier? I understand the frustration that they aren't simply available for both genders though.
I'm just fed up with patriarchy today on so many kegels (yes, I'm fighting back by inserting random gynocentric words into everything I write).
