		<description>My favourite cheerleader! Thanks for the support! I&#039;m going to do this thing! Even if I have to Facebook harrass everyone that I know!  And send personal e-mails out to 100s of people! This will get done! Having women in positions of leadership is THAT important!</description>

		<description>I haven&#039;t read the twilight series so I can&#039;t pass judgment there, but I agree that women and girls need stronger role-models, and not just in the realm of gendered literature. Prefixing genres with &#039;womens&#039; only reinforces the perception of negative stereotypes, and it extends beyond the realm of books. A few days ago I read an article where a designer was described multiple times as a &#039;woman designer&#039; and as a &#039;female designer&#039; as opposed to just being called a &#039;designer.&#039; What does her sex have to do with her competency as a person who designs products? There is nothing empowering about being othered- you&#039;ll never see a &#039;male designer&#039; being called anything but a designer, or &#039;male literature&#039; being called anything other than literature. Why are we singled out? I&#039;d say that the first way to balance the power in a relationship between a man and a woman is to stop othering the woman. It starts with language, which is our greatest tool for change.</description>

		<description>Love your post. I think we also need to start putting the onus for healthy relationships onto men and boys as well. I don&#039;t think that a lot of men and boys ever have conversations and get taught how healthy relationships work and what they look like. Boys watching Twillight and seeing how girls and women react to it are going to have a really disturbed view of what a relationship should be. 

We need to figure out how we can teach both boys and girls how to respect each other and we need to open up the rigid boundaries around gender expression so that men can feel comfortable expressing their emotions instead of acting out in violence and frustration and so that women can feel comfortable being assertive and living their own lives. Seriously, the narratives we teach children about love are perverse and sickening! No wonder there are so many problems!</description>

		<description>Thanks!

 I completely agree with you. I understand Feminism in its self-determined form, not its socially constructed one and therefore include anyone who self-identifies as a woman. There is no one answer to the question of feminism and I think this is where the movement suffers the most at the hands of its detractors. The link seems to be broken, but thanks for adding to the conversation!</description>
