Stop telling girls they have to be super heroes and not princesses. Stop telling girls that wanting to be a mother or a homemaker isn’t a real job. Stop telling girls that makeup isn’t art. Stop making fun of girls who like being in a relationship and looking for love. STOP telling girls that femininity is bad. I thought being a feminist and being a woman’s rights activist was about giving women the freedom to choose. Stop the internalized misogyny.
Thank you.
Sincerely, a girly girl
Also, it’s not like girls have to choose between “girly” interests or “boyish” interests exclusively. Let girls like whatever they like. I was into American Girl dolls until I was 13 but there was a crossover period when I was also really into Star Wars, so I would dress my dolls up like Jedi knights and make up stories about their adventures. When left to choose whatever toys they want, a lot of kids will mix and match different interests, and that’s totally fine.

There aren’t words strong enough to say how much I love these brothers.
