To think that this is the worst example of gender bollocks I've found?

[nenevomito]

So the Studio Christmas book arrived on my doorstep yesterday. I once ordered some personalised pencils and have forever more been on their radar.

I have had to put it away as I am so fucking angry that they are selling shite like this.
I want to be Girls dress up set

A horse rider, a maid, a nurse a ballerina or a beautician.

A Maid???? Yeah set the bar high on aspiration there you knobbers.

So what about the boys set? Is it as pathetic?

I want to be boys dress up

A businessman, a pilot, an astronaut, a postman and a policeman.

How the hell have we got to 2011 where this shit is still acceptable. I am not saying that girls shouldn't want to be those things, but why the hell isn't the girls "I want to be dress up set" - Doctor, business woman, pilot, astronaut?

Maid???? You are SHITTING me Studio!

Then I made the mistake of searching for girls roleplay and discovered they carried on with the theme. Sure. Why not. Let me set aspiration and expectation in my daughter by dressing her as a maid and giving her the laundry set complete with pink fucking whirlygig washing line. for the Girls roleplay

I don't often rant on here but .

And your still a cow so think were probably even

So sexist! Why cow? Can't I be a bull?

You don't need any more bollocks than you already have my dear!

But you have so much to spare, seems rude to keep it all to yourself.

Fine here have some bollocks - I'm being rude to you as a feminist act against the stereotypical gender norm.

Its fun, isn't it? Very liberating.

Siamo - no its my norm anyway - I have to try to be nice - not managing that one well tonight

my dh is now sniggering at the thought of me being a people pleaser

Honestly you two. Naughty Step, NOW! :o

Or make that 3 - don't want to leave anyone out.

:)

I'm uniformly horrid to everyone. It's hard work but someone has to do it.

My Dh is now is pissing himself and says I have found a soul mate -

Cripes- you two are now soul mates!

Well there is a happy ending.

I'm already spoken for but I'll give you a shift behind the bike sheds if you insist.

look it was only a man's opinion and now your playing to one of his fantasies ffs

maybe I'm a hairy handed trucker called Dwight. Anonymity is a wonderful thing!

Oi, get a room.

And a blanket

:o

Night night, and stay warm under that blanket!

(or rather over it - geez, too late methinks.)

a shift! haven't heard that since I was 14 (nearly as long since I've done it too, sadly)

What's a shift?
