What's the problem with pink?

On the next Your Call, we'll have a conversation with Peggy Orenstein, author of Cinderella Ate My Daughter: Dispatches from the Front Lines of the New Girlie-Girl Culture. How is the image of the princess or ballerina bathed in pink related to girl power, feminism, and our culture's complicated relationship to girls and their sexuality? Join us live at 10 or send an email to feedback@yourcallradio.org. Has there been a resurgence of girlie-girl culture? And if you're you one of the parents who resists it, why? It's Your Call with Rose Aguilar, and you.
