I find this article interesting (although on the long side and didn't see it was optional) but it raised good points. “Girls Power represents a “new girl” assertive, dynamic, and unbound from the constraints of passive femininity. On the other hand, Reviving Ophelia presents girls as vulnerable, voiceless, and fragile.” I do agree that there are these types of woman in the world but I don’t see either of these being bad qualities to have. I don’t feel that being vulnerable, voiceless and fragile is a horrible thing but just home some girls are and how they feel comfortable acting and some girls feel more comfortable being assertive, dynamic, and unbound from the constraints of passive femininity. I don’t think being vulnerable, voiceless and fragile are excellent qualities to have but for some is a choice of how to act; and if all girls were assertive, dynamic, and unbound the constraints of femininity that there would be no diverse personalities and all girls would act the same. In our country I believe being a “Reviving Ophelia” or a “new girl” is more of a choice where in some countries girls are expected to act as a “Reviving Ophelia”. Overall I thought it was a good article to think about, at times it was a little difficult to follow but it gave some different sight.
