Christmas is coming and I would like to suggest you purchase products that do NOT promote female value as equated with a waist circumference smaller than that of a cranium. Why?
Because, there is more for
girls to consider than a good corset when planning for adulthood.
This girl is so much like my middle kid, that exasperated look like, “How else can I possibly explain this so you will grasp the enormity of this situation?!?”
I WISH I had encouraged more messes, exploring,
sports, fun, hugs, risks, and dreaming.
(There should be Avengers underwear for girls!
The nearest I could find is a very cute, Black Widow set but for size S to L
adult girls but nothing for little girls.)
35 years ago, Judy Lotas ran the creative group for LEGO and
fought to put girls in ads. "Boys
and girls are different, but not to the exclusion of wanting to create and
build. That’s not a gender issue."
