so much either/or. Take the little league pitcher, Mo`ne. She was asked why she "doesn't play more feminine sports like soccer". Her reply was...I do play soccer.

The if you play one sport precludes a person from playing another, which also by some bizarre thinking that you can't also be homecoming Q. To me feminism is not about either/or. It is about having the opportunity to do all you want. Whether you excel or fail is not the point. The opportunity is.

The days of all women being labeled and treated like girly girls are coming to a close. *Some* men get that, while others need to be brought kicking and screaming through the uprights on the gridiron.

-this is me not being cynical, thanks to sheshe's thread this morning.
