Feminism is asking to allow women to have a say in what happens to women." If that is truly the definition of feminism, then I am one. Too often though, it seems like people think that feminism is asking to have women be treated like men.<br /><br />And I completely agree with your last paragraph.Mimi Colletthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15879880111595536353noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18287480.post-53914643930968040402014-06-04T13:29:40.795-05:002014-06-04T13:29:40.795-05:00Rachel, I agree.

But I do think that when little boys aren't told that they can't punch someone who doesn't want to roughhouse back, that is bad. I remember adults rolling their eyes when my brothers hurt me, saying "oh, that is what boys do." And I hated it. And it also taught me that I couldn't stand up for what happened to my body, because adults didn't care.

I am probably messing up the story, but the bottom line was he was teaching him "if someone else says no to something, you stop" and I loved that. I try to teach my kids that you have to stop if someone doesn't like something. I also am a big advocate of my 4-year-old who doesn't like hugging. I force her to do a lot of things like eat her veggies and not yell at her brother, but I never force her to hug someone just because they want it. Doesn't matter if it is her best friend, grandparent, or anyone, I feel like she needs to know that she has power over her body and that she can say no when she wants and that it must be respected. Anyway, just my two cents, like your post!!!kelseyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09560251216600014049noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18287480.post-67656613513339213412014-06-04T05:44:02.741-05:002014-06-04T05:44:02.741-05:00I liked your thoughts, I think they are very insig...I liked your thoughts, I think they are very insightful. My only comment is that little boys naturally want to make messes and rough house, and that itself is not bad. What is bad is not putting limits on how they treat others and how they act.Rachelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12190439423886583053noreply@blogger.com
