You've now coined a term that is me. That is, I too am a Ms. Judgmental Feminist. I just didn't realize it as such until I read this. H has gone through gymnastics, softball, and soccer, each with varying results. I've resisted her pleas to take dance lessons until this year, when I finally found a place that offers dance lessons without the pole-dancer outfits and hoochie-mama, woman-hating dance music. I played basketball throughout my entire school years, even into grad school, so I know what that can do for a girl. But her personality is so...well, girly! She loves to dance, play dress up, and wear glittery, sparkly anything. I don't want to force her to stick with team sports proper, but I also don't want to see her thinking that her value is determined by how she shakes her groove thang! Things were so much easier when she was a pre-schooler! Yay for Thing 1 and her brave self! Fantastic!! You’ve now coined a term that is me. That is, I too am a Ms. Judgmental Feminist.

Now I want to enroll Supadiscobaby, who, incidentally, is a boy, in gymnastics. At only 13 months, he's probably still too young, but I eagerly await the day that he is old enough :) I’m completely inspired!
