Quote of the Day

Senior week, May 2011
"It’s really uncomfortable to see a strong, child-like character get tarted up and flash bedroom eyes at you, but it’s equally sucky to rely on a giant corporation to teach your kids what strong women look like.  Strong women look like Amelia Earhart, Rosie the Riveter, Asmaa Mahfouz, or Elizabeth Smart.  Or Wonder Woman, or Sally Ride or Sojourner Truth.  Or your grandmother.  Or you."
- Jenny Lawson, "Two Uncomfortable Truths" (via)
