Portrait of a girl...

I've done a couple more guest posts for The Hathor Legacy: Girls Will Be Girls and Jungle Book II: the story of how a female character is softened.

These are in addition to my earlier posts Do Boys Like Stories about Girls? (with its follow-up The Knights of Disney) and The Tale of Mr. Morton (about Schoolhouse Rock).

That's all I have planned for this series, but I may write for The Hathor Legacy again if I think of anything more I'd like to say about portrayal of female characters in the media, particularly in children's programming which is my specialty.

I'd analyze grown-up T.V. and movies too, except that I watch grown-up media almost never. It's not that I don't like stuff for grown-ups, it's just that all of my recreational entertainment time is eaten up by my tragic Internet habit... ;-)

Do boys like stories about girls?

I've just done a guest post for the Hathor Legacy here:

Do boys like stories about girls?

The Hathor Legacy is a group blog that discusses how women are portrayed in the media. And if you've been following my blog, you know I love analyzing the movies and videos my kids watch!!! So when I found the Hathor Legacy, it looked like a great excuse to analyze their viewing habits some more!!! ;-)

Please go have a look!
