My youngest son, Nicholas, loves “All About That Bass,’ that contagiously catchy, retro-inspired pop song.
“All About That Bass” has been accused of “skinny shaming”
and encouraging women to feel validated by what a man thinks
she says boys like a little more booty to hold at night”).
I’m not too concerned about the “skinny shaming,” because there’s just no comparison to the fat shaming that overweight people experience. But I don’t like the word “bitches.” I’ve clearly explained to my kids that they are never to use that word…I don’t like the way it’s become so commonly accepted in popular culture (thanks, Breaking Bad).
I’m glad to report that I’ve found a better alternative to the original song, and it’s “All About Those Books,” by Mary Ellen and the Readers! It’s produced by Mount Desert Island High School in Maine. Enjoy!
