One of the GIRLS

It was cool to see an article about Erin DiMeglio on People.com, but they gave the article a tagline of “One of the Guys”.

Why does Erin have to be one of the guys just because she’s on the football team?  Isn’t she still just one of the girls?  She just happens to have a cannon of an arm and can throw well enough to make the top football team at her school.  Good for her.  People.com–fix your language please.

About Girls Rise Up

I mentored young girls in foster care while I was at the U of A and was a Youth Minister for five years. I have also worked for two years as a social worker with homeless women which has helped me see things from a feminist perspective. I can't imagine trying to raise a daughter in a society full of reality tv and fifteen minute fame for a "nip slip". I didn't have an older sister, but if I did, there are things I would've wanted her to tell me (I did have a great older brother--thank you to Sam who did his best with "girl talk"). So, for all young girls who want someone out there to be honest with them on all topics, I will try to do my best. I will also bring attention to feminist issues, pop culture, and current news stories that I think could benefit my readers. Thanks for reading!
