Not sure why I had to play devil's advocate aside from, you know, peevishness. I keep thinking about this and it's absolutely true that we do this with little girls. I wonder if it drops off as they get older. Does it seem so to you? God, I hope so. Oh, Diamond, yes! it definitely bears examination and I do actually agree with her.

And you can ask a girl, particularly one you don't know, "What you got there?" but we are so deeply in the groove of "What a pretty dress!" that it's actually difficult to change it in yourself. And that makes me think it bears examination, and maybe attempts to try another way. And if you want to read a book with the smug tone re: how you raise girls, try Packaging Girlhood. The information is compelling, but the tone will make you tear your hair out.
