I knew a lot less about feminism and social justice issues before I started visiting Jezebel. Through it, I learned a great deal. My boyfriend is a libertarian (which generally disagrees with a lot of the solutions feminism suggests) and until I started visiting here, very anti-feminist from what he had been exposed…

My friends ex husband has made it his lifes work to turn his ten year old into a 400 pound lesbian so no man will ever touch her. It totally sketches me out.

My 2yo boy loves pink! And he loves to pick flowers and tuck them behind his ear. It's adorable.

There are so many onesies for baby boys that say stuff like "Ladies' Man," and gives me the icks. (Actually, there's one on the Carter's website right now, except it says "Ladies Man," which is grammatically meaningless, to boot.) (Btw, boys also have a "Little Genius" option. Girls get "Daddy's Little Princess" and…

As a blip on YOUR radar. There are likely things you feel passionately about that I don't care about. The thing about humans is we can care about different things on different levels.

My dad was way better about it than my mom was. My mom was the "don't get dirty here have this doll no that's a boy's shirt", my dad was like "Want to learn how to solder a circuit board?" If I said, yes, I learned. If I didn't want to, that was cool too but he kept giving me the opportunity.

Because your enjoyment of sexism ensures that my daughter grows up in a society that doesn't value her.

These comments are reminding me of the many years my dad spent coaching ringette in our small town for his daughters' teams. (It's a Canadian sport created for girls as an alternative to hockey, sadly dying out now.) So much fun and so much learned for both of us. I think he did it because he wanted us to have more…

IRON MAIDEN.

Rather than complain about the 66% of America that is okay with this culture...

I see comments from people online, and even hear it in real life more than a little bit, all going on about "why is being gay such a big deal?", "everyone accepts you, why don't you just shut the fuck up already?", "gays already have equality, now they just want special rights." Unsurprising, these comments come…

when I see shit like this, I just flash back to Halloween when the prevailing costume was NOT princesses for girls (at least in my area) it was superheros- I had batman, ironman, green lantern, superman, hulk, you name it- and they were either the boys version, or someone had added a tutu or sparkle somewhere to make…

!!!!!!!!!!!! CUTEST!!!!!!!!!!!!

UGH. My co-worker has a son who, he says, smiles and "hams it up" for women. *barf*

And beyond that, how about we not sexualize infants, by proclaiming their dating preferences?

My dad once wore a pink dress shirt to work because he looks good in pink. When someone made a comment about it, he explained that pink used to be a color for boys and that he looked good in it. That shut it down and other workers started to dress in pink too.

I'm so glad you said this - I don't have any kids so I always feel a bit vexed for calling out people who buy them for their offspring, but this is proper skeevy. Brrrrrr....

I'm also creeped out by the clothes for little girls that suggest they date anyone. I know it's a small thing, but the weird sexualization of kids really bothers me. (I even hate it when people talk about their "flirty" babies.)

Your daughter is awesome. You should stitch a wo- before the man on the onesie.
