STFU Parents: On Crushing Children’s Spirits — And Their Parents’ Spirits, Too
The first life-sized Barbie dreamhouse is opening in Europe this month. As a child I worshiped all things Barbie and would have gnawed off my own arm to go here. Apparently not everyone is viewing this icon with the same childhood wonder. A grass-roots feminist group based in Berlin is planning to protest the pink palace – labeling it a “sexist icon.” More
I was excited to see the opinion piece, “Warren Buffett is bullish … on women” in Fortune magazine pop up in my Twitter feed. Warren Buffett staking claim in the feminist world? I love it! The 140 character invite told me Warren Buffett was demanding all men get on board. Sounded great, until I read his reasons why. More
I have to admit that since I became a mother, I really stopped worrying about street harassment. When you’re carrying a child, the only comments you get used to are coos from random women over cuteness. It had never even crossed my mind that I would have to deal with street harassment when my daughter was with me. More
There’s a difference between “being polite,” and “behaving like a lady.” And no matter how well-intentioned it might be, I would not respond well to someone suggesting that my daughter, “act like a lady.” And I don’t think young boys should be admonished to behave like “gentlemen.” More
“As you might imagine I’m not having my daughter growing up thinking girls don’t get to be the hero and rescue their little brothers.” More
When Fujitsu talked about hiring a special team of female engineers to design the computer I got excited. Perhaps they would be among the role models our daughters are looking for in the science and engineering worlds. Perhaps they would build a laptop that addressed our genetically smaller hands or something lightweight for me to add to my already overweight diaper bag. No, it’s just pink. More
I have a low pain tolerance. It’s something I hadn’t really noticed until my enthusiastic and physical daughter started attempting to use my body like a punching bag/jungle gym. Unfortunately, my aversion to wrestling with my daughter has led to some gender stereotypes in my household that make me a little uncomfortable. More
Ever since LEGO Friends hit the scene, we’ve been hoping that other toy companies would step up with an offer that doesn’t include jacuzzis and nail salons. Now, there’s Goldie Blox, a toy specifically designed to make girls fall in love with engineering. And we’re a little excited about it. More

We were driving home from gymnastics class when my daughter and I pulled up alongside a firetruck. She immediately plastered herself against the window with excitement, smiling and waving at the firefighters while we sat at a red light. The gracious men waved back at my little girl, and the driver even honked the horn, causing her to squeal with delight. In that moment, she felt super cool informing me that she was just greeted by what she calls, “real-life superheroes.” However, a couple minutes later she was quiet and upset about the encounter. When I asked what was wrong, she said, “I wish girls could do that.” More
As part of the Girl Scouts STEM initiative, Louisiana scouts get a two-day ‘Geek Squad’ technology academy. I’m just wondering if we can organize a conference for grown up geek girls. More

I’m a feminist. A proud, active feminist who supports causes of gender equality, tries to integrate gender neutral parenting and generally wants to raise a strong, independent little girl. Should my belief in gender equality mean that I don’t have the time or energy for attachment parenting? Apparently some moms thought so. More
