I don't understand why everything is...SO well said! I don't understand why everything is SO gendered. For me, it's funny though. Before Monkey Girl was born, I swore I'd never put her in anything pink. Now, she's already such a corker--I can tell she's going to be so strong and already has a fiery and independent personality--that I don't mind the pink so much. I kind of like the irony--it's like me wearing pink. (I'm SO not a girly-girl! Never have been. Ever.) <BR/><BR/>But, the sayings?!? Oh how they just piss me off. I can't handle all of the princess crap. When did we all decide that sitting around waiting for prince charming was all we wanted our daughters to aspire to?<BR/><BR/>argh.Mama Bearhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07828936673145226848noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2893308137328665120.post-78377894142871064932008-07-11T11:52:00.000-07:002008-07-11T11:52:00.000-07:00Those slogans and designs are terrible.

Thankfully there is decent stuff out there, but some parents need to think more about what kind of messages these outfits send.Mallorynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11914993188185068883noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2893308137328665120.post-48140004794112865992008-07-08T07:22:00.000-07:002008-07-08T07:22:00.000-07:00OH Ms Planner - terrific post.I often wonder, laps...OH Ms Planner - terrific post.<BR/><BR/>I often wonder, lapsed feminist that I am, how I would negotiate this world -- and I was shocked in parenting W how easily I got sucked into the gender indentification vortex -- X often says that she's annoyed when people always say to her daughter "oooh you're going to be a beauty" or "oh she's so cute" -- it's all very tricky territory isn't it?<BR/><BR/>Have you seen Boden's baby clothes?

I think it is the saddest thing when tiny little girls have outfits that are cheap and tarty.
