Re: [apmultiples] gender issues

That's a good point.  I have only boys, and they're not too interested in clothes as long as they fit and are comfortable.  One of the three is just now showing interest in choosing his own clothes to wear, the other 2 want me to pick.  I can't imagine that I'll go to letting them choose what to purchase for wear as I have to clearance and thrift store shop so the risks are high that they'd want pricy stuff.  Although they can and do help with clearance and thrift store shopping.

Anyway, I feel that if we place a huge importance on girls *not* being 
in frilly dresses or nurturing roles, we are just buying into what 
patriarchy tells us about what counts. We think that it is important 
*not* to be interested in clothes and that it is a problem for people to 
look out for each other. I feel that our choices are really quite 
radically feminist -- we believe in people before things, and that's not 
what is going on out there!
