Text of the page (random words):
of their lives an important one for sure but as long as i connect with all other cogs and don t fuck up the whole machine by breaking down or mis cogging or whatever the hell cogs do in a metaphor like this i m playing my part entirely satisfactorily which is to say ok parenting is actually ok so seriously you can stop beating yourself up about whatever you beat yourself up about doing wrong ok it s not just me telling you this revolutionary stuff it s science not the kind of science that gets popular play in the daily male of course not the girls really do like to pick up dirty laundry more than boys it s genetic type science but science nonetheless and that s good enough for me but then that s the kind of person i am leave a comment posted in child rearing feminist parenting motherhood parenting 20 03 2013 gender your children all you want by mistressofboogie unlike gender the piano is black and white and just like when you tell them to stop writing on the table using the sofa as buzz lightyear s landing space kicking each other for fun they will ignore you i love pink is for boys a blog about how a family can rise magnificently to the challenge of parenting a kid who crosses gender boundaries with the alacrity of a chicken crossing the road talking about other gender jumping kids i have so many people write to me privately from my blog telling me their stories some celebrating the luck of a new generation to be nurtured rather than shamed others mourning their own painful childhoods of the former boys who write me some are gay a few have transitioned some are straight guys who like pink and nail polish their parents responses to them did not affect who they turned out to be only their sense of self esteem the amount of baggage they carry and the length of their journey to healthy adulthood this is what i was talking about you can hit your musical genius kid over the head repeatedly with a piano and yes you will succeed in stopping her from wanting to play it maybe even for a very long time but eventually she will play the bloody piano and why would you want to stop her anyway leave a comment posted in child rearing feminist parenting gender 18 02 2013 girls are strong by mistressofboogie oh yes they are she looks not totally unlike my own little placard waver boogie how often do girls get a message this positive and this bare leave a comment posted in awesome females boogie politics 16 02 2013 genitally operated toys by mistressofboogie ok it s way late to be posting this this graphic has been doing the rounds since before jesus rose again but 1 it s funny it s funny in a way that makes the liberal feminist s heart sing and order another vodka and tonic not through desperation that george osbourne is still alive and regarded by more than his mother as somebody who knows what he s doing but through a joyful desire to re connect with that squiffy part of herself that teaches her children to dance the twist outside sainsbury s when her children are fortunately unavailable for a re enactment due to being asleep in bed and 2 i am suffering writer s block like i have never ever experienced before these are the first words i have written in three months for work or play and if i don t write something i fear i will be certifiable within the next two to three days i m sorry it s the best i ve got and please bear with me but i feel better already 3 comments posted in child rearing funny as fuck gender 28 11 2012 oddly normal by mistressofboogie over at pink is for boys they ve been talking about a book call oddly normal one family s struggle to help their teenage son come to terms with his sexuality and an interview the parents gave about raising their son the post really resonated with me so i m going to reproduce it here i found myself getting really angry as they described his childhood not at his parents who i think are brave to share their story warts and all especially considering the drubbing they re taking in the comments section online these parents are cringe worthy over indulgent and insistent that their child be special there s no way you can tell a small child is gay this is all about how you re so great because you were ok with him being gay you pushed him to come out maybe he s not really gay just following your prompt but i did cringe especially at the interview story summarized on the website on the painful decision to take away joe s barbie dolls his parents hid the barbies in the attic and pretended they didn t know where they d gone jeanne mixon my concerns were that the other kids would tease him that they wouldn t understand and that he wouldn t fit in it s important in elementary school and even in middle school they re very conformist ages and if you don t fit in you get teased and ridiculed and as it turned out even with taking the barbies away he didn t fit in he wasn t like the other children but i wanted to give him a chance to be as much like them and to be able to fit into the social group if possible and i knew that taking a dressed up barbie as a boy to kindergarten was gonna set him apart and he d never have that chance that no one would forget it and in that school system you re in with the same children from kindergarten through fifth grade so that s six years of people remembering you re the kid who took the barbies to school i didn t want that to happen to him i found myself wanting to hurl useful clever critical analyses at the radio like he still didn t fit in no shit or you think again not really directed at the mother i know so many parents in this boat letting their sons wear dresses at home but not in public or letting their daughters wear vests and ties at home but not to church and i know firsthand the worry about bullying but it makes me so angry at our culture that has so scrambled our instinctual drive to protect our children that we think they ll be better off being someone other than themselves so poor joe still didn t fit in he didn t get to be himself and he got the message that his parents thought who he was wasn t ok ugh so painful frederick douglass said it is easier to build strong children than to repair broken men that s where i m placing my bet and i m all in if it makes you or anyone else in society momentarily uncomfortable i have faith that you ll be all right my favourite bit but it makes me so angry at our culture that has so scrambled our instinctual drive to protect our children that we think they ll be better off being someone other than themselves you ll remember i struggled with this a while ago when l il boo was all about being the boy in the dress and i concluded that if he wanted to wear a dress he could wear a dress on the simple basis that i couldn t see an end to what not allowing him to was the beginning of the path that begins as do all journeys with a small step i love you my son but not that part of you because that part of you is inconvenient unacceptable disgusting that part of you we ll gloss over ok and so with barbies as with dresses once you hide the barbies and your child still isn t like the other children what s the next step in making him like them in making him normal how far do you does ken get it next and if ken gets murdered in the attic how do you square yourself to the basic weirdness that a gi joe doll survives the doll cull despite just being ken in a uniform and will gi joe survive the first death to all girly dolls pogrom only to get it in the second death to all possible gay influences pogrom due to his metrosexual hairless chest and suspicious tendency to only associate with other males remember unsubstantiated rumours have killed millions of actual people never mind plastic action figures actually i see now where it does end it ends in parental exhaustion due to ridiculous over thinking and where do your kids end up they end up safe in the knowledge that all your be who you are you re wonderful rhetoric is bullshit oh i don t know i get the pressure i get the parental instinct to hope that your kids fit in but i just don t think that in the long run there s a viable alternative to letting your kids be as oddly normal or as normally odd as they are yes i think you do have to make your kids aware that people will give them shit for being who they are but you know what haters gonna hate my friend and there ain t nothing you can do to stop that so you ve just got to let the kids be as long as they re not hurting anybody or torturing small animals which you really should intervene in cos you ve got a serial killer on your hands and i m not that much of a liberal i m not saying it s always easy because god knows it s not but from where i m sitting i just can t see a viable alternative because if there s one thing worse than being hated for who you are it s being hated for who you re not how much would that suck 4 comments posted in child rearing gender gender gibberish 19 11 2012 how to have gender non conforming kids by mistressofboogie can i just point something out when i say raising gender non conforming kids is the frontline of feminist mothering i mean that this is really what feminist parenting is if you raise your kids by feminist principles you will have gender non conforming kids yes you will and no not because you have indoctrinated the poor sods with all that feminazi stuff like oh equal pay and mutual respect but simply because you didn t put them in a box and hit them with the freak stick every time they slid a finger out to try and fashion a breathing hole my children are in fact remarkably gender conforming all things considered and by all things considered i mean of course the vast encompassing influences brought to bear by society by advertising by snotty kids who do live in boxes at home but unfortunately also get let out to go to school with my kids by all things considered i mean that i have managed in some small tiny way to keep the box lid open just a crack just a crack but hopefully enough to let them breathe leave a comment tags the gender box posted in child rearing feminism feminist parenting gender gender gibberish 16 11 2012 gender my arse part iii by mistressofboogie largely disgusted by approximately 98 7 of content on the internet i restrict my internet viewing to stuff that i like which means my internet reading is essentially a couple of news sites and various feminist blogs with the odd site about raising gender non conforming kids thrown in because well because those sites are where my passions for feminism and child rearing kind of come together because make no mistake raising gender non conforming kids is the frontline of feminist mothering nothing will test you as a feminist mother more than watching your children try to swim in the real life waters off the coast of your island of theories and nothing has illustrated this better lately than this clip of bullying from abc s what would you do i call it bullying because baby that s what it is what makes this bullying appear so much worse than normal so much worse that it can be hard to even see it as bullying is that depicts a small child being bullied by adults and not only by his her mother who was of course only an actress but by random strangers if these people came across this kid and started beating the crap out of him because he wasn t behaving right we d see it more clearly what we see instead are these adults beating the crap out of him psychologically he she is being bullied for not behaving right for not keeping within the confines of his or her gender the concerned disgusted looks the sotto voce remarks the general view mum has to stop it now all of this tell the child clearly that he she is not acceptable that they are not acceptable as they are that they must change and people will do this to a child on halloween for crap s sake the one night of the year when we are supposed to be dressed as something else i didn t see it as bullying at first either what called it out to me was the appearance of the wonderful sally at the end that and the fact that i almost cried when she appeared simply because finally somebody did see what was happening and immediately showed compassion to the child it should not bring tears to my eyes simply to watch an adult respect a child as a human being yet another reason why gender can kiss my arse 4 comments tags feminist mothering posted in feminist parenting gender gender gibberish 01 11 2012 advice from a cartoon princess by mistressofboogie i am so loving these they
