Now that I got it, I'm a little hesitant to put it on her for school. She goes to a catholic school in NoVA, and I saw a parent today w a "Reagan/Bush 1980" shirt on today. What do you think? Inappropriate for school?

I'd do it.

Why? How does a girl run?

First they join a political party.

Then they gather signatures to get their name on a ballot.

Same as a boy, so what's the point?

It's taking a purported insult "like a girl" and affirming it as a strength. It's awesome.

So "run like a girl" is an affirmation of strength, but "run like a boy" is what, a sign of the patriarchy?

Insult? Really? I apparently missed that notion. Where I come from, girls can do just about everything better than boys, IF they want to.

everyone I know has heard the saying "he throws like a girl" and knows it is an insult.

Men in general do some things better than women, especially certain physical activities. These facts are undeniable, just look at the results of the Olympics. Women also in general do some things better than men, such as attainment of higher education, again backed by real statistics.

"run like a girl" does nothing but play into identity politics, it's not cute, it's sad and reflects poorly on the parent.

and I'm dead certain her sex is the ONLY reason you are a "HRC voter". As such, this make you guilty of misandry.

Sexist.

You're the sexist, because you're assuming PP is only voting for HRC because they're both female. There are plenty of great reasons for voting for HRC besides her sex. Starting with the GOP candidate.
