[quote=Anonymous]What irritates me most about this argument is that to me, it seems the most truly anti-feminist argument of all. Is it only women who are in STEM or dressed in power suits that are powerful, strong, and valuable? Why is being girly, sparkly, etc. seen as such a negative? FFS, it’s sparkles, not an illegal drug or pathogen. It’s a harmless phase, and even if it’s not, it’s not like your daughter actually thinks she will be a princess. She may prefer “girly” clothes and sparkles. She may *gasp* turn out to prefer the arts over STEM. She may *double gasp* choose an STEM field, on'y to quit permanently to be a SAHP. She may do any of these wearing pants and T shirts, or in dresses. Accepting that all are acceptable choices is feminism, not turning girls into gender less or male role models. [/quote]
