I am sorry your family was wrong and they didn't realize that you could be a girl and like actions movies, sharks, and all the cool stuff. My parents messed up on a lot of things but I do have to give them credit for buying me Barbies and Matchbox cars. There were no girl toys and boy toys in my house. I wasn't limited to play with just girly things. My Dad always said that me being born changed a lot of his ideas on women and feminism for the better and I am so grateful for that.

Yeah, having a childhood like this was awesome--I had dolls and action figures and got boxing gloves when I was six.

Mom didn't start pushing the girly stuff until I was a teenager, and I thought she was rejecting me, but in retrospect
1. My self esteem was so obviously crushingly horrible that I literally thought I was too ugly to attempt to look decent--that any attempt would just highlight my ugliness. I basically said this out loud. So trying to get me to, you know, maybe try wearing a skirt or a bright color or go to a party wasn't exactly regressive.

2. She was trying to teach me that wrangling the unibrow and wearing lip gloss sometimes improves how people see you. Which enrages tumblr kids but is also (unfortunately) completely true. I'm currently studying the 1940s, where using lipstick to cover up dramatic gender progress was really important. Stuff's basically warpaint.
