Boys and boys' body image and clothes have become just as important an issue for boys as for girls.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Girls can wear jeans, cut their hair short, wear shirts and boots, 'cause it's okay to be a boy, but for a boy to look like a girl is degrading.
Girls' inner critics are starting to reveal themselves at a younger and younger age. And body image issues are an aspect of their lives which is causing them low self esteem and day-to-day suffering.
Body image is something that girls struggle with every day, and it's something that I struggle with every day.
I think it's so important for girls to love themselves and to treat their bodies respectfully.
I never ask boys' opinions on clothes, ever. I really think, unless you think the guy has style, don't ask. So I only ask my girl friends. I don't trust guys' opinions on style!
It's really important for boys to see that girls take up half of the planet - which we do.
There are stereotypes that have been out there for a long time that tell girls that their main asset, the main thing that they are valued for, is their appearance and also that it's to the exclusion of anything else.
Having boys is different. Boys, you put sneakers on, and they're out, they're ready. Girls, you gotta pay a little bit more attention to them.
Boys will be boys. And even that wouldn't matter if only we could prevent girls from being girls.
Boys can just wear a suit on the red carpet and that's fine, but for girls it's all about the way you look, and there are constant comparisons.
