"oooh! Poor boys and girls defending their uptight positions..."

Athene, you appear to be a tad confused about the venue...this isn't the girls' toilet on Prom night.

Women don't just pander to their daughters' peer pressure, they facilitate the very fads over which feminist sensibilities cry offence. Explain to me how blaming something like Bratz on peer pressure exonerates their mothers from their role in perpetuating it. If mums didn't buy into it, it would disappear.

Women don't have to pander, do they? They aren't forced to buy into a phenomenon like Bratz. Could it be that modern consumer society and its accompanying ubiquitous media are constructs fashioned and presided over by both genders?

As I pointed out, this isn't the girls' loo. It would be nice if you or Killarney offered something more appropriate to an adult discussion forum. I'm sure you have plenty to offer.
