I like Miranda Devine's articles in the Herald. Her one on the weekend was great.
An exerpt:
Why is our culture so toxic that to be taken seriously as a model or actress or singer or female celebrity of any description you have to strip off, look out of control and trashy, and degrade yourself in a cheaply lit approximation of '70s cliche porn? The more hardcore and vulgar, the more hip and ironic.
It is as if whoever are the gatekeepers and shapers of our culture are offended and threatened by that most potent element of femininity: innocence.

Yep, I agree, loved this article. Echoes so much of what Melinda Tankard-Reist often writes about. I find this so scary and sad thinking about the future of our little girls (and boys too really).
Hey Julie. Yeah, it worries me too when I think about the culture we are bringing our kids up in. Still, maybe we kid ourselves a bit in thinking today is that much worse than the romanticised past.
