After a few months of reacting to the likes of 'pink is for girls' and 'boys can run faster than girls' from DD4 with a hearty 'oh that's not true at all!' and 'daddy loves pink!' or 'grandma can run faster than grandpa!' or somesuch, I really ramped things up this evening.
DD chose a fraught toothbrushing time, when I was also trying to stop her toddler sister throwing socks in the toilet, to utter 'i wish I had a penis' for the first time. Obviously I immediately went into radfem code red. When she explained it was because she would then be able to wee standing up, and girls can't do that, a perfect storm of misguided feminist intention on my part fueled by exhaustion and having fired myself up by half an hour browsing FWR earlier in the day somehow led to me whipping my kecks down and standing over the toilet just to prove that women can do anything men can do, including wee standing up. The kids were agog. I realised within 50 microseconds that this was a bad idea. Fortunately it turns out my aim is almost OK. It was a subdued bedtime after that.
Have you ever realised you've gone a bit too far in the name of feminism?
