[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]“Our generation worked so hard to expand the notion of what it means to be female--you can be strong, ambitious, loud, athletic, aggressive, whatever--and now it seems like kids are putting "female" in this small, weak box and identifying anything outside that stereotype as something other.”

OP here. This! It makes me so sad. Womanhood is so powerful, and I know I have set an empowering example. That is partly why I am confused. [/quote]

I agree with both of you.

The entire idea of spending hours on the internet researching to decide that you are a “Demigirl” or whatever just reeks of self-centered attention seeking.  I cannot imagine how far back my eyes would roll if my child told me this.  I would probably limit internet time and try to get her to read more actual literature.[/quote]

True they should read Tess of the Dubervilles and learn a woman’s value is only in marriage or the great gatsby where nobody works, they drink too much snd kill somebody driving recklessly and cover it up.  :roll:
