[Vivisectus]

I was raised to treat gender as inconsequential. I am trying to do the same with my youngest, but she is point blank refusing to have any of it, and is a convinced sexist. There are boy-toys and girl-toys, and while she enjoys some of the boy ones in private, she is mortified at the thought of one of her girl-friends seeing them.

I have talked to her about it, but she remains unconvinced.

It reminds me of when my parents tried to ban violent and/or competitive games and toys. As a result I craved, CRAVED them both.
