So yeah...I do a lot of bitchin’ here on Reign about girls being conditioned by the media and pop culture to be sexy, flirty playthings and not the smart, strong, powerhouses they're capable of being.
And yeah...I have a bit of an obsession for analyzing ads, music, television shows, toys, clothing trends, the beauty industry, current events and anything else that feeds the beast that gives our girls the limiting impression that their power lies in their “hotness”. It’s what I do, ok?
