My 5 y'old boy, after a few months of school, developed a brand-new set of strong opinions about gender. Like performative "I HATE pink" non-sequiturs, just in case someone thought he might like something girlish.

I've had to fight tooth and nail to counteract this mind poison he's learned at school. "Look, my favourite bath towel is pink! I love gardening! Smell this nice flower!" I don't know how successful I've been, but it feels like trying to sweep the tide out sometimes.
