I love and respect my friends who disagree with me, but I think we’ll have to agree to disagree on this one. I don’t think the message to our kids should ever be, “Parts of your bodies are bad and you should be ashamed of them.” Negative body image messages, it seems to me, should be the exact opposite of what we tell our kids.

Only, yanno, SNL said it better.

“They come for the boobs, they stay for the books, everybody wins.”

Random quote of the day:

“To emphasize only the beautiful seems to me to be like a mathematical system that only concerns itself with positive numbers.”

—Paul Klee, diary entry, March 1906,  #759
