She talked all the way home about how children "her age" - she is just 8, are exactly the same (apart from genitals) and that girls can play football, and boys can wear pink.
Then they watched a short film which appears to have shown things about the suffragette movement and early feminist stuff. I have to translate the odd word from French so sometimes it is tricky to know exactly what went down.....
She laughed and said that in the film there was a daddy who came home and watched football and drunk beer - just like my daddy - "but my daddy isn't like that as he plays with me and does cleaning too"
Anyhow, I think I have tried to demonstate equality through how we do stuff at home, and have never really TALKED to her about it, but maybe this is something I can build on......Any ideas? Positive stuff we can discuss and do together?
