It’s been quite the girl empowering week on social media. In case you missed it Goldie Blox viral video turns tables on little-girl princess fantasy.

Also, researcher Rachel Simmons, discusses in Slate why selfies are good for girl empowerment. Simmons thinks selfies suggests something in picture form—I think I look [beautiful] [happy] [funny] do you think so? This is something a girl could never get away with saying for fear she comes off as conceited or arrogant. It puts the gaze of the camera squarely in a girl’s hands, and along with it, the power to influence the photo’s interpretation.

What are your thoughts did you like the Goldie blox video? Do you agree with Rachel Simmons? Do you love selfies or detest them?
