[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I get why she's proud. It's nice to see your kids feel free to chose what interests them, especially when it goes against gendered stereotypes. But I agree that she needs to remember that her DD needs to chose her own path too.

I worry that I'm socially gendering my DD already, even though she's just a few months old. I've always generally disliked pink as a color but I keep gravitating towards pink outfits for her to wear. Why?![/quote]

Because she's a baby girl, and that's what baby girls wear. It's not about you, PP.[/quote]

What's wrong exactly with "socially gendering" your DD?  For millenia, parents have grasped that part of their job is to help their children understand what they are.  It's a recent phenomenon that people have believed otherwise.  Here's a tip: stop believe that you or a bunch of forgettable academics pushing this gender theory stuff are somehow smarter than the collective wisdom of thousands of years.  The truth is that you are not.[/quote]

I'm sorry to break the news to you, but this "gender theory stuff" is not going away. Also, your idea of "collective wisdom" is wrong. It is simply wrong. [/quote]
