We'd like to use the illustration from that post as a logo for our "Ques'tu lis" (loose translation : "What r you reading"). It's a regular gathering of teenagers where we present them new books (or comics, mangas,bd,...) and they themselves talk about the books they love to each other. Of course, we want the authorization of the designer. So, if you are, would you agree to let us use it ? And if you're not, do you remember where you found it ?<BR/><BR/>Thank you for answering, and thank you for being patient with my english...<BR/><BR/>SebastienAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10890387.post-86179967824540737442007-03-22T17:11:00.000-07:002007-03-22T17:11:00.000-07:00Oh, I READ THAT article in the Guardian!!!

I had SUCH angst about it, but I'm not always good at articulating exactly WHAT is wrong with something, so I just fumed about it, and kept thinking, "Can they be SERIOUS!?" The article said things like "boys need more books with them in roles of power," and I thought, "Um... what have we already got?!" I will definitely go and read the post, thanks for the heads up... Hopefully I'll be able to articulate something about it soon!!tanita✿davishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01671822274852087499noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10890387.post-70837753315324154642007-03-20T13:46:00.000-07:002007-03-20T13:46:00.000-07:00I agree with the See Jane theory that boys learn g...I agree with the See Jane theory that boys learn girls and women are of less importance than males from the dearth of well-rounded representations of them in G-movies. Is it any wonder that boys (as we're repeatedly told) don't like to read about female characters while girls are happy to read about either gender? The message books and movies aimed at children are sending is that males are the abler and more empowered gender. <BR/><BR/>The F-word has an interesting blog entry from March 15th (http://www.thefword.org.uk/blog/) about how the British education minister's idea of special school bookshelves for boys would reinforce gender stereotypes. I tried to put the complete address of the blog entry but blogger just wants to truncate it - sorry!C. K.
