Yeah. The woman in front of me in line the other day at the Dollar store, asking if the sippy cup she was buying looked 'red' or 'pink' to me. I said it looked kinda pinky-red (it did), and she said she didn't like to buy 'chicky' stuff for her little boy.

It's a sippy cup, lady, not a fucking vagina. Relax.

Ugh... people like that. A woman I work with made fun of a FIVE YEAR OLD at her son's daycare for wanting to wear a tiara. I just gave her this look and said, "Who cares if he wants to wear a fucking tiara?"

What I really wanted to say was, "Well I'm sure you feel better about yourself now that you've belittled a child for their wardrobe choices..."

Gah. When she told me that about 'chicky' things, i said 'well, he's not gonna care, he's just gonna be happy to have some juice!'

It infuriates me that people actually spend time worrying about this, and get so *nasty* about it.

Oh that pisses me off.

My baby goes to daycare in blue rompers with dinosaurs on them because they are fucking cool looking! She also wears pink ones with flowers and whatever. But screw this color thing. Both my girls have looked fantastic in blue and I hate that they don't make girls clothes in blue.

Also, my older daughter always wants to be male characters for Halloween (we had a long convo over lunch yesterday about how she likes female characters but always fantasizes that she is the male characters from her favorite shows and what she thinks that means), and if she wants to be Legolas, then Legolas she shall be!!!!

Maybe she wants to be the male characters because, unfortunately, a lot of the male characters still get to do more cool stuff than female characters? That certainly holds true in LotR/The Hobbit where there's only one female character who does anything action.

I think you are totally right re: LotR. We've talked before about how disappointing she finds the lack of women in the series.

I think there's something more to it though because one of her other favorite shows is Farscape and she thinks Aeryn is awesome and kickass, but she always pretends to be Crichton instead. It's very interesting.

I used to fantasize about being male characters when I was little. I would dream about being the manly hero who rescues the princess. Later, there was a time when I wondered if this meant I was gay, but looking back on my early fantasies, there was never any romance or sex involved (I was really little, so this isn't surprising regardless of the genders and sexualities involved) and the fantasies pretty much ended with the rescue, like I'd completed a level on a video game or something. I realized it wasn't about wanting the princess, it was about wanting to be the hero and I was awash in stories where the hero was male and rescuing a princess was just what heroes did, so that's how my fantasies went.

This sounds a lot like my daughter. She definitely wants to be the hero, and I think that's what a lot of her play revolves around.

erugh.

Yerss.
