When Did Acting and Enjoying Being Female Become Verboten?
09.17.19 | chickensoup

Posted on 09/17/2019 6:18:22 AM PDT by Chickensoup

The other day I was speaking with a lovely leftist woman who has two daughters and a son. She was relating how she was talking to her daughters and daughter in laws about how she would like to take the grand daughters to a fairy land presentation. All the daughters and daughter in law were very negative about exposure to tutus and the fairy child experience. All the husbands backed their wives.

All six of the parents are professionals, and have at least some success in their fields.

They did not want to expose their daughters to that level of the feminine.

I questioned grandmother about what she thought about the fact that only neutral or masculine activies were ok for the grandaughters but traditionally feminine activities were shunned.

She tried to see it from the parents eyes, but admitted it was a bit lopsided.

It has become bad to act feminine.

on a related note, try to purchase a rosebud receiving blanket or feminine layette, very difficult.

Because of these LIB malignancies there will be many many women living alone eith their cats. No man in his right mind would have anything to do with these LIB fools. LIBs destroy everything they touch.

Not all girls want to grow up to be ballerinas.

Some girls want to grow up and wear Muck boots on the farm.

My wife is in the Muck boot category.

A pretty lady who likes to get down and dirty with the cows on our farm.

Feminine? Hale yes!

To destroy America, the normative moral culture must be destroyed. The institution of marriage must be destroyed. Homosexuality must be promoted. Etc.

Part of this is completely erasing sex roles. Men must become women, and women must become men, while both wear unisex outfits. This is why there is a war on boys in school, feminizing them and making them sit quietly, not play with toy guns, not roughhouse, not act like boys. On the flip side, girls must be discouraged from being feminine.

It is all part of the onslaught on American moral culture designed to destroy us for the coming New World Order. A lot of people are buying into it, hastening America’s decline and fall.

It is impossibly sad to watch in real time and know there is nothing you can do to stop it. It is gut wrenching. Than God for President Trump and whatever he can do to slow it down.

the same with gymnastics,

the difference between female gymnists today and those of the fifties is astounding.

That’s an excellent point. And it may be why I always liked Olympic ice skating. Torvill and Dean!

It’s a mixed-up, muddled-up, shook-up world.

Ballet is alive and well for young ladies. There’s no shortage of little ballerinas, if you check out the studios anywhere.

If you are ever invited to a ballet recital for kids, go. My wife and I exposed our daughter to dance classes, which she enjoyed. The recitals, especially for the little ones (3-7) are "hilarious" with some achieving perfection or showing off and others just out of step or doing prat falls.

As far as "feminine" pursuits our daughter took dance, piano and learned to play cello. She loved to read and she also went on camping trips, did some carpentry, learned to drive a stick shift and change a tire. We wanted to prepare her for life with broad experiences and the confidence she could do anything. She once complained she was not learning anything in a computer class she was taking as the teacher was lagging far behind. I told her, "You've got the book with all the material, teach yourself." She did.

Some time in the sixties.

The people who complain that they are coming after "masculine" activities forget that when they came after feminine ones they shrugged it off.

Sometimes they even applauded it.

It became wrong to enjoy being a girl and liking "girlie" stuff.

Out hair was chopped off, our clothes swept clean of ribbons and bows, our baby dolls ripped from our arms. We were to be little boys and raised to become men with breasts.

Saying that we wanted to be a wife and mother were met with jeers and we were told that we were parasites.

Wow!

You misunderstood my comment completely.

I wasn't taking anything personally. And I didn't even mention that you were talking about my wife.

Not sure where you got that notion from.

I was just giving my opinion, not attacking you at all. What I said was meant as a positive comment. Somehow you took it the wrong way.

My youngest niece (40+) always loved trucks, always watched them from her baby seat while on the road with her mother.
She’s been getting Hess Trucks for Christmas ever since she was a tyke. As a teenager she would buy them for herself. The fellow that owned the Hess station where she would buy them every year would give her each year’s poster still in the tube.

My Grand daughter just started 1st grade and on her first day they had the kids fill out a chart about their age, interests, and what they wanted to be when they grew up. She is 6 and wrote that she wanted to be a Mom. So far she hasn’t been indoctrinated by the feminazis.

IMHO this is why PBS stopped showing reruns of Mr. Rogers Neighborhood. Ol’ Fred was just too heteronormative.

“For a girl will someday grow to be a lady,
And a boy will someday grow to be a man.”

Can’t have THAT now, can we?
