that a couple of weeks ago, we found out we are having a GIRL (I knew it!!). Obviously we immediately rushed out to buy pink paint and 'little princess' tops. aaarrghhh! I did actually buy a top - but it is blue and white, says 'Pirate' and has a picture of a bunny crossed out with crossbones. Hopefully you all see where I'm going with this....
James asked what I would do if/when she wants a Barbie. "Obviously", I replied, "explain the patriarchal system that elevates Barbie as a physically unattainable standard of womanhood".
Wish me luck :)
And in other, related news, in order not to be a total hypocrite, I have given up 'Heat' magazine.
