In the mid-nineteenth century when the modern waves of feminism started young children of both genders wore mostly white with lots of lace. It wasn't considered "girly" and mothers didn't have to buy a separate nursery sets for their male and female children.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11271149538259398956noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1999955171519602518.post-30433498523019179682014-04-11T21:06:15.295-07:002014-04-11T21:06:15.295-07:00Marion Zimmer Bradley did something similar with m...Marion Zimmer Bradley did something similar with many of her books, too.

Not being very stereotypically girly by modern Western standards doesn't mean I'm somehow abnormal, just one variation on a large continuum. My parents raised me and my little brother as people, not rigid stereotypes erroneously based on biological sex. If I have kids, I intend to raise them in the same gender-neutral fashion, though it's increasingly hard nowadays. Even toys and clothes for infants are largely sex-stereotyped.Carrie-Annehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05810154378449825641noreply@blogger.com
