Last Friday was the first day of Baby Loss Awareness Week and I shared this story. I didn't want to let this opportunity go without dedicating a post about why I think this is a feminist issue
It was Eric's 4th birthday on Monday. Perfect excuse to dig deeper in what these 4 years of motherhood have meant for me from a feminist (and personal) point of view.
I think it is fair to ask ourselves how we expect girls to not fall into that trap when we constantly praise them for their physical appearance. How can we expect them to believe us when we say that "what really matters is what's on the inside" when they are bombarded by unrealistic beauty expectations and surrounded by adults talking about dieting, calories and sizes?
