[quote=Anonymous]There are some YA series and graphic novels I don't get for my tween DD because I don't like how they depict girls and women. The graphic novels/manga in particular, you have to pay attention -- real Japanese manga can include some very degrading images and treatment of girls and women. When she is older I will let her get what she wants at the library or buy with her own money, but right now if I'm the one paying or taking her to the library, I'm not endorsing material that I find personally degrading to both of us. I wouldn't get this stuff for a boy either. And yes we are having conversations about WHY some of this content is degrading and why as women we have to care about how media depicts women and girls. I hate this world sometimes.[/quote]
