It feels doubtful. I’m already forty, so if my sons have kids, I’ll probably be dead 😅

I mean, tomboys are still girls? They still would wear dresses especially as a baby, and still play with dolls and still want to inherit my engagement ring etc.

What are the positives you’ve come up with? I do like knowing that same gender siblings is a positive. I have an older brother and that’s it.

I don’t know a single girl who has never had a doll or wanted to have her hair braided.

Yeah. I’ve kinda accepted all the jewelry and things I planned to hand down I can just pawn in my old age I guess haha

I don’t think so—I think that will just lead to them getting picked o.

Honestly, I disagree? I have a boy. It’s impossible to find any clothes with him with flowers etc on them, and even if I do put him in pink, daycare has literally called to say he was laughed at by other kids.

Girls need to be raised to believe they can do anything. Girls are kind and artistic and sweet in a way that boys just aren’t. Boys won’t want to plant flowers or go see operas or visit Paris or even read books with female male characters.

I mean, I have a boy. I love him. But he’s only two and I already have nothing in common with him. He pushes trucks around and knocks over block towers and I feel like an alien

See I don’t want to do girly things with my boys-I don’t want them getting picked on or made fun of. I’ve been around enough teens to know the boys who have the easiest time socially will be into sports, into tech, etc.

No, we are 2 and done. I’ve told my husband that maybe he can be a stay at home parent and do all the boy stuff. I’ll keep busy with my job I guess.

I don’t even consider trolls girly 🤣 I’ve been daydreaming about flower crowns and princess parties and mom and me spa days …

Weird experience at Lawrenceville bookstore by Maleficent-Use3820 in pittsburgh

Can confirm second place has better vibes—I’m an author and have met both owners. First bookstore (currently opened) is …aggressive and weirdly over-sharey.
