"For Girls Only, Probably" - On Rowling's site

Everybody should check out the "miscelanious" tab of the "extras" section of Rowling's site ... I'm not sure when the "For Girls Only, Probably" thing went up but this is the first I have noticed it and I think it is great. Of course, references to "rat-sized dogs" and "a gust of stinking chihuahua flatulance" make me laugh pretty hard and feed the flame of my already large disgust with the popular "yip dog." But the piece is really good beyond just being funny in places. It's a good message against the sexistly rigorist message of "thin" shoved at girls from every magazine rack in every check out line in our wonderful suburban lives. Some lines in the piece may locate a little too much in the girls on the covers themselves, but Rowling does, early on in the piece, make clear that she sees the real source behind the unhealthy phenomenon to be the orchestrators who are feeding the cover girls their mandated image. I think it is a good thing for somebody in Rowling's position to write.
