Jane Pratt’s xoJane: A (Feminist) Place For Moms And Teen Girls
The language may be a bit crass for mothers hoping that their teenage daughters have never heard a swear word or have any idea what sex is, but the feminist concept behind this website echoes strong. With an entire column devoted to what weird stuff publicists are trying to push (like belly button surgery) to one writer’s eloquent reaction to her rapist friending her on Facebook, the website seems to be a place where the well-being and health of women and girls is a priority. The fashion section upholds notable women like Clara Bow while chuckling at 90s throwbacks likeĀ Drew Barrymore’s character from the film Poision Ivy. Granted, your teen will be reading in close proximity to articles like “I Obsessively Monitor My Husband’s Lube,” but the pro-woman voice of xoJane vastly eclipses the use of a few dirty words.
