Though Rachel Campos-Duffy began her career in the public eye on MTV's reality series "The Real World: San Francisco" in 1994, she admits the network and media in general have traveled down a troublesome road during the intervening years. "There is a war, especially on young girls," said the mother of six children during a recent interview on the Christopher Closeup radio show. "There is a cultural pattern that is basically removing girlhood and pushing these kids into adolescence at a rapid rate. What's interesting about having an 11-year-old girl is being able to compare the cultural forces I was dealing with versus now."Patheos
Currently a stay-at-home mom and parenting blogger who recently wrote the book Stay Home, Stay Happy: 10 Secrets to Loving At-Home Motherhood, Campos-Duffy certainly doesn't believe in isolating yourself from popular culture. In fact, she's a frequent guest host on the ABC series "The View" where she freely voices her Catholic, pro-life beliefs. She also looks for positive elements in media, citing as an example some strong pro-life moments on the MTV series "16 and Pregnant" and "Teen Mom." Campos-Duffy goes on to acknowledge that the program also has its down side because the featured teens "are basically shacking up in each other's homes in front of their parents."
As you may know, she is Catholic from the Diocese of Superior.
