Raising a Daughter in the Modern World
Courtesy of my fellow NYC dad blogger, mr. nice guy, I discovered this weirdly powerful and chilling public service commercial from Dove. Considering the fact that Dove is one of the world's largest consumer beauty companies, this video really is kind of ballsy.
On the one hand, I think it's a little hypocritical of Dove to be on an anti-beauty industry campaign. After all, they are just as responsible for reinforcing negative body images on women as any company in the world. However, if you ignore that fact, the video provides a pretty chilling idea of the environment in which our daughters are being raised.
Check it out and let me know what you think...
