This just made my day even better. All I wanted to do for my best friend. (: #bestfriend #bff #best #friend #birthday #bday #personal (Taken with instagram)
We let Willow cut her hair. When you have a little girl, it’s like how can you teach her that you’re in control of her body? If I teach her that I’m in charge of whether or not she can touch her hair, she’s going to replace me with some other man when she goes out in the world. She can’t cut my hair but that’s her hair. She has got to have command of her body. So when she goes out into the world, she’s going out with a command that it is hers. She is used to making those decisions herself. We try to keep giving them those decisions until they can hold the full weight of their lives.

(On why he let Willow cut all of her hair off) Read more: Will Smith On Allowing Willow To Cut Her Hair: ‘She Has Got To Have Command Of Her Body’ | Necole Bitchie.com - He raises a really great point. What would it mean to believe very early that my body was mine. That it’s not for anyone or for any particular purpose other than to be mine until I decide otherwise. (via larepublicadedet) I was damned near 30 before I could believe my body belonged to me & me alone. Dear people who take an issue with this, Let the Smiths do right by their babies & shut the fuck up about how you think they should parent. (via karnythia) I think this is great. I’m 19 and barely realizing that my body is my own. I was lucky though because it was my boyfriend - now ex but we’re still good friends - that began to show me that decisions about my life and body are mine to make. I say lucky because instead of taking advantage of this crutch I’d been taught to lean on he helped ween me off of it. Lucky because a lot of other guys would have taken advantage and have tried. But I honestly think this is great thing Will Smith did for his daughter. Break the cycle and don’t let her grow up thinking her life, body, etc. isn’t her own because that isn’t true they are hers. |
Hate On Christina As Much As You Want…
…but my love for her is growing every day! She’s a true feminist, a true artist. She speaks what’s on her mind! She saved my life & I’m proud to say that Christina Maria Aguilera is my role model & inspiration!

Heartwarming Tearjerker of the Day: Four-year-old comic book fan Anthony Smith is deaf in his right ear and has hearing damage in his left. He also refused to wear his hearing aid (which he calls “Blue Ear” because it is blue), because “superheroes don’t wear hearing aids.” So in a long-shot attempt to help her son, Anthony’s mom emailed Marvel for ideas.
“She didn’t know a specific person to write to here at Marvel, and even figured it might get caught in our spam filters, but she sent it in anyway, because that’s the kind of great parent Christina is,” said Marvel editor Bill Rosemann. “And it was her inspiring effort to help her son that touched so many of us here. As a fellow parent of a toddler, I can understand where she’s coming from, so I forwarded the email around the rest of Editorial, asking what we could do to help, and like when Cap yells, ‘Avengers Assemble,’ the gang leapt into action.”
Not only did Anthony receive an image of the superhero Hawkeye, who lost 80 percent of his hearing back in the ’80s and wore hearing aids — Anthony also received a drawing, by Nelson Ribeiro in Collected Editions, of a brand-new superhero: “Blue Ear.”
Now, with his hearing aid back in, Anthony is able to “fight battles and help people.” His preschool, for hearing-impaired kids, recently hosted a superhero week to inspire the students to overcome their limitations.
DON’T miss the video. It’s the best thing you’ll see all day.

A gay marriage, a disabled superhero, AND the Avengers all in the same month? Marvel must have some real-life superheroes on the payroll.
Just makes me love Marvel even more.](http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m4jd3cjjOf1qzpwi0o1_500.jpg)
