[quote=Anonymous]I’m a pretty radical feminist, and I really hate the idea that we shouldn’t allow girls to play with dolls and strollers and the like, because it suggests that “feminine” things are bad. That just further creates problems by devaluing childcare and motherhood even more than they already are. The answer is for boys and girls to have access to boy and girl toys. Not for all girl toys to disappear. And boys should also be praised for playing with dolls and being good fathers, that would certainly help them be more involved with their children when they are fathers. My daughter loves princesses and unicorns and all things girly. She also does MMA and has been starting her own business. We discuss problematic things in an age appropriate way. It’s NBD. [/quote]
