To avoid this kind of distraction for starters. Of course it's not a 'womens only' issue, I just want to see what if any feminist perspectives there might be on this first. It seems to me that television has devolved to an even lower stage of evolution lately so maybe theres more concern being expressed over this again, something I may not have heard as yet. If there's interest in this I can open another like it in media or somewhere else, later. ETA: Ok, I removed my 'womens only' request then. I only ask that any concerned guys/fathers try and restrict themselves to the odd "I think" comment and follow up, thanx. I think this is an important subject again, with all the openly toxic and hateful stuff on today. [ 02 May 2008: Message edited by: Erik Redburn ]

My kids watch very little television, particularly in the afternoon. If they do watch tv, it's usually DVDs. Lots of Miyazaki animation and movies that we've vetted. Most kids' programming is so badly done that they would rather go read a book or play a game instead.That being said, we make sure that there is a lot of open discussion about what is seen, what's right or wrong and where it all breaks down. If my daughter wanted to watch Springer, I'd probably let her, but there would be a lot of talking about messed up humans afterward. Fortunately for me, neither of them are the least bit interested. ETA: I don't see this as necessarily a feminist issue, although the blond guy and I are most definitely raising the wild girls with a feminist sensibility... It's a parenting issue, both parents have to be on the same page. [ 02 May 2008: Message edited by: Timebandit ]
