From
"Harry Potter" author J.K. Rowling on raising daughters: "I've got two
daughters who have to make their way in this skinny-obsessed world, and
it worries me, because I don't want them to be empty-headed,
self-obsessed, emaciated clones; I'd rather they were independent,
interesting, idealistic, kind, opinionated, original, funny - a thousand
things, before 'thin'. And frankly I would rather they didn't give a
gust of stinking chihuahua flatulence whether the woman standing next to
them has fleshier knees than they do. Let my girls be Hermiones, rather
than Pansy Parkinsons. Let them never be Stupid Girls."
Her
reference to "Stupid Girls" is to pop singer Pink's single by the same
name which Rowling described as "the antidote-anthem for everything I
had been thinking about women and thinness." To learn more about this
single or to preview it, visit http://www.amightygirl.com/
