y I was confronted with the notion that I don't dress my daughter "girly" enough.Interesting I thought.
"Girly enough"? What does that mean exactly?
I was told that it is harmful to girls everywhere if we do not celebrate their feminine side. But what is the feminine side? It's something we created a long time ago through our own stereotypes... Girls wear pink tutus and have bows in their hair, wear bling and pink ribbons.
But is that really what defines a girl? I don't think so.
I can remember dressing what some mothers would call "boyish", I played with boys, and I played in the dirt. But I'm all girl, and I celebrate my independent nature everyday!
So why all the fuss about what we wear and how we dress our girls?
The zen approach would be to say we celebrate the person and what is, not what we think it needs to be.
I would l0ve to hear your thoughts and comments on this!
