Gwyneth Paltrow fears young girls are being brainwashed



by Sara McGinnis posted in Celebrities

Gwyneth Paltrow is finding it terribly difficult to raise a daughter in the modern world.
The actress, who is mom to 12-year-old daughter Apple (and 10-year-old son Moses), recently opened up about wanting to let her daughter express herself but not be too provocative.
The Daily Mail notes Gwyneth "is concerned young girls are being brainwashed by 'post-feminist imagery' that portrays provocative behaviour as empowerment."
Speaking at the China Exchange in London on Thursday, the 43-year-old said:
"It is concerning because I think there is a very denigrating set of imagery and behaviours happening. Women are so powerful and so capable and to have it inferred that you have to generate yourself in any way to be likeable is abhorrent to me. With my daughter I try to find a balance of being an example for her as a woman who ? works and tries not to go out in public naked."
Regarding Apple, Gwyneth Paltrow went on to say:
"I am her mum but at the same time I want her to express herself. Sometimes it is hard when she is wearing something really, really short and a lot of make-up and I have to resist the instinct as I want her to experiment and find her own identity. It is an interesting balance right now being a mother of a coming-of-age girl as there are a lot of conflicting messages in our culture."
And though I'm not a mom to any daughters, I'm totally feeling Gwyneth on this one. Where the heck is the line...
