DEEP! 11 Reasons Pink Could Be a Role Model For Your Daughter

 

We’re in awe of Pink’s circus-like acrobatics at the Grammy Awards. But anyone who’s been following the musical wonder of this woman’s life knows that she’s an amazing woman all around. At a time when moms are hard-pressed to find public women to point to as role models for their young girls, we have 11 reasons to give a second look to Pink. We’re pretty sure you’ll agree that she’s one woman you’ll want to seek out!

1 She Doesn’t Have a Cinderella Complex

 

Pink didn’t sit around waiting for Prince Charming. She proposed to Carey Hart in 2005. And when the couple later endured marital troubles, she bared her soul and won him back. All little girls should know that they can write their own story and not wait for it to be written.

 

2 She’s Strong

 

Pink is mentally and physically strong. She sets goals and achieves them, as evidenced by her incredible aerial skills performance both before and last night. And she knows it takes hard work to get there. After giving birth to Willow, she told shapes that she works out for 60 to 90 minutes five days a week with her trainer. A singer, a dancer, a writer, and a gymnast, Pink proves that a girl can do anything she sets her mind to . . . maybe even in the same moment!

 

  3 She Turned Her Life Around

It’s been reported that like many other teens, Pink was a wild child who at times was at odds with her mother while growing up. They have since reconciled. Girls should know that you can mend bonds and get past mistakes.

 

  4 She’s Honest About Her Feelings on Motherhood

 

For a number of women, motherhood was something they’ve dreamed of since they were little girls. For Pink, it took a bit longer for her to recognize that role for herself — and she’s not afraid to admit it. “I had moments where I wanted a kid with Carey,” Pink told GQ Australia. “You know — you first fall in love, and you’re like, ‘We should have kids,’ and then it went away. But he always wanted kids and then we did it, and now it’s like, ‘F—,’ this is so rad. It’s more important than anything we’ve done.”

 

 

  5 She Voices Her Support For Public Breastfeeding

 

More of a hippie mom than she even realized herself, Pink has become a vocal supporter of both extended and public breastfeeding. Aside from tweeting a since reoved photoof herself breastfeeding , she related a story of an encounter she had with a man who showed disdain when she nursed in public. She told a British talk show:

“I had a cover on and this guy walks by, and he was like, ‘Ughhh.’ He was just disgusted. I was like, ‘You didn’t get enough hugs when you were little.'”

Her husband, Carey Hart said, “You’re starting fights in restaurants.” And Pink said, “I will. I will fight. Hold my baby! I think breast-feeding is healthy and natural and it’s a comfort to my baby.”

 

  6 She’s No “Stupid Girl”

No mom wants her daughter to grow up and play the stupid card. When many starlets were making names for themselves (and fortunes) by being airheads, Pink called them all out in her “Stupid Girl” song and video. Her message to girls: act smart.

 

  7 Her Thoughts on Beauty Should Be Recited by All Girls

 

Not your traditional CoverGirl model, Pink has people’s eyes on what defines beauty. She told Redbook, “Well, I was always considered butch. Feeling beautiful to me is when I feel good in my leather pants and my husband grabs my ass. Or when I’m sitting on a mat and my daughter runs to me with complete joy. Beautiful has never been my goal. Joy is my goal — to feel healthy and strong and powerful and useful and engaged and intelligent and in love. It’s about joy. And there’s such joy now.”

 

  8 Motherhood Has Softened Her — a Bit

Known for being a bit rough around the edges, Pink’s the first one to admit that motherhood has transformed her — for the better.

“When all the fuss goes away and the nurses leave you alone and I’ve got my beautiful little bambina in my arms, swaddled in a blanket, it’s incredible, it’s amazing,” Pink told MTV. “I’ve softened, and I think it’s perfect. It’s what I needed. I was hoping for a little edge loss!”

 

  9 She Hasn’t Given Up All of Her Prebaby Vices

 

Just because she’s a mom now doesn’t mean Pink has changed all of her ways. Every mom needs some nights out — she just needs to modify how intense those nights are! “Babies don’t respect hangovers,” Pink Said. “No matter what time we go to bed, she wakes up at 5. So I party from maybe like 9 to 10. And I party hard for that one hour. I get it all in.”

 

 

10 She Has a Positive Outlook on Life

 

Though her songs often express anger, Pink’s outlook on life is anything but. She told GQ Australia, “I can use the word ‘happy’ and not flinch. I’m happier than I’ve ever been, but I’m also still living my life.”

 

11 Her Caring Ways Extend to Her Concerts

Mom instincts aren’t something you can just turn off — even if you’re on stage in front of thousands of people. Last year, Pink stopped midsong to find out why a little girl in the audience was crying. When someone said the little girl had just witnessed a fight, Pink responded, “First of all, you look beautiful. [And] Rice Krispies treats fix everything.”

  • ” 6 She’s No “Stupid Girl”
    No mom wants her daughter to grow up and play the stupid card. When many starlets were making names for themselves (and fortunes) by being airheads, Pink called them all out in her “Stupid Girl” song and video. Her message to girls: act smart.”

    Really? In the video she classifies girls who suffer from eating disorders as “stupid girls”. Is that a message we want to send to young girls? That a mental illness you have no control over makes you “stupid”? Not to mention the subtle implication that if you’re not a rough-and-rumble tomboy who loves sports you’re automatically an airhead. No thanks, femininity gets demonized enough already by men, I don’t need a faux feminist driving that message home even further to girls who have the misfortune of being young and naive enough to look up to her and internalize those harmful messages. And are we going to overlook her “Please Don’t Leave Me” video where she violently assaults her boyfriend? If the genders were reversed there would (quite rightfully) be universal outrage over the glamorization of domestic violence, so why do we laugh or look the other way when it’s a woman beating up her boyfriend/husband?

    I wouldn’t designate ANY celebrity to be a role model, but if I had to make an exception, Pink sure as hell wouldn’t be it. She’s extremely problematic and all she would inspire in young women is to further divide themselves and put each other down for not being the “right” type of girl who’s worthy of respect instead of uplifting each other. Please don’t encourage any girl to model themselves after her.

    • You do realise that what you have said is just plain ignorant? You say that ”she classifies girls who suffer from eating disorders as “stupid girls”.”no.just no, You are missing the whole point of the video! Did you actually even watched the video?the your named ”girl who suffer from eating disorders” said while entering the room “omg,you guys!I totally had more than 300klc today.It’s so not sexy”,which means that she is just ”following the trend of being skinny”.Also I think you didn’t see her other videos,for example ”Perfect”-the girl in the video is dealing with all kinds of problems,disorders and so on,but she has the courage to change herself,to be proud of who she is! More than half of Pinks songs are about dealing with problems,and encouraging girls to be proud of themselfs. Also look what did Pink herself staited many,many times:(just a couple quotes):”Women have fought so long and hard for our rights and equality, and now all our attention is put on being a size 0.”;’Sexy’ doesn’t have to come with the price tag of being dumb.” and so on.Do you understand what i’m saying? You should really look up the videos and the lyrics before you judge someone like that.

      • “the your named ”girl who suffer from eating disorders” said while entering the room “omg,you guys!I totally had more than 300klc today.It’s so not sexy”,which means that she is just ”following the trend of being skinny””

        And how does this prove that she’s not mocking eating disorders? Do you even know or understand the pathology of eating disorders? Most girls develop them as result of feeling pressured to conform to a body type, so yes she’s blaming and mocking girls for being victims of a sexist, image obsessed society. If she wanted to make a point about women having more value placed on their appearance than other qualities than she did a rather horrible job of it. She didn’t call out the patriarchy, she called out women who suffer as a result of it.

        • Yes I do know and understand the pathology of eating disorders.I’m not going to rant,because ether way you will still say what you want because you didn’t even try to look up some information on Pink’s life,her video concept or even song lyrics…so eather way in your pov i’ll still be wrong.

  • Even before Willow's birth P!NK was my role model, there was always something about her songs you can relate too. She is amazing, she always focuses on the underdogs in our society, yes she rips other celebrities but that's simply because would much prefer he daughter, friends, family and fans to fight to get to the top like she did, why should we have everything handed on a plate? Willow will never be an underdog, but she will never be a spoiled brat because of who her parents her. So many people love and respect Pink and what she stands for. Pink knows her position in society and knows that because she is followed and idolised by millions her words can change the way others think. She is someone I would prefer my child to look at and idolise rather than these air heads who assume that because their parents were famous then they should be too. Pink will NEVER raise Willow into been a Malibu socialite, she will be raised to work hard for what she owns and get where she wants to be, if she is famous for been a singer she will encourage Willow to do it in her own right. I've fought and worked and my children (when I choose to have one) will also be raised to do the same and with influences in our lives like Pink my child will learn from the best.

  • “U can mend bonds and get past mistakes”- PINKY. I love that.She has one or two things we can learn from her thou not in entirety.

  • I luv luv her songs…..shes d perfect defination of a strong woman.Not perfect but not giving up,stands up for herself and it doesnt matter where or who with.Beautiful too(in and out)Luv u pink.
