DD (5) insisted on accompanying me to my Feminist Network meeting today. I allowed this since the cafe where we met has a play area and I wanted to model 'mum having a life' instead of just 'mum wiping bottoms and preparing food for dcs'. So she came with me while DH took DSes 1 & 2 shopping. Then they had some Quavers.
On the way home I asked DD what she had enjoyed most about the day (thinking she would say the Quavers).
DD: The feminist meeting!
Me: Hmm. Do you even know what feminism is, DD?
DD: Er, no....
Me: It's about making things more equal for women and girls.
DS1 (in a sad little voice): Not boys?
Me: Well you see DS1, at the moment, on average, men earn more money than women and women have to work harder, and we don't think this is fair.
DS1: Tee hee hee! That means when I grow up I will be able to buy more things than DD because I will have more money than her!
