It was DD's 7th party last week and it was at hell a soft play.
At the end of the disco the party organiser asked the girls and boys to split into groups to receive their party bags.
DD asked (politely): Excuse me, why are there separate bags for girls and boys?
Party Host: Umm. Because that's just how it is (me: ).
DD: well it's wrong. Girls might want to play with the toys in the boys bags and boys might want to play with the the toys in the girls bags. It's gender stereotyping.
Party host: Nothing.
Then one of DD's friends, clutching the fashion related toy from her bag said "Boys don't play with fashion toys" with a grimace.
DD: Of course they do. There are lots of male fashion designers. Don't be silly.
I'm proud of her .
Feminism: Sex & gender discussions
Can I be proud of DD here please?!
