Hitta en skön inställning i ett citat, i en random blogg som jag lusläste.
Det är Will Smiths fru som fick frågan varför hon tillät sin dotter Willow, att klippa av sig allt sitt hår.
”The question why I would LET Willow cut her hair. First the LET must be challenged.
This is a world where women, girls are constantly reminded that they don’t belong to themselves; that their bodies are not their own, nor their power or self determination.
I made a promise to endow my little girl with the power to always know that her body, spirit and her mind are HER domain.
Willow cut her hair because her beauty, her value, her worth is not measured by the length of her hair. It’s also a statement that claims that even little girls have the RIGHT to own themselves and should not be a slave to even their mother’s deepest insecurities, hopes and desires.
Even little girls should not be a slave to the preconceived ideas of what a culture believes a little girl should be. More to come. Another day.”

Nu handlade bloggen om feminismen o såvidare, men jag tolkar uttalandet som att försöka fostra dottern till en stark kvinna, oavsett om man har en feministisk åsikt eller inte...
