Ask them the same critical questions you ask yourself when you’re watching any type of media—questions like: Why do these people or characters look the way they do? Do any of them look like me or people I know? Did the people who created this show value girls and women as more than pretty decorations or romantic partners? Is somebody hoping we’ll buy something after we watch, read, or listen to this message? How does this message make you feel? How do you think it would make other people feel?
