Prompted by a thread about a fairy party. I see nothing wrong with a 3 year old inviting only girls to a fairy party. Others disagree. That's not for here but it prompted some thoughts.
It made me think that perhaps the idea of gender feminism motivates the idea that it's wrong to allow a girls only fairy party. What I'm referring to is the feminist standpoint that males and females are the same by nature and only different by nurture (basically).
I disagree with this very much, despite having a son who cross dressed much more than most boys and a daughter who's very tomboyish. Very. I still think there are basic emotional differences (and so, life preferences) arising from hormones.
I am a feminist and talk to my children about equal rights. I believe feminism is about equal rights not men and women being the same.
What do people think.
