Gender Roles


Em objected to my hair today. I was brushing it because I had just come in from high winds, and she asked me why I'm always brushing my hair.

She says I should cut it, because long hair is for girls. I asked her about her sister, who prefers to wear hers short, and Em said I was 'complicating it.'

She says folks stare and say I'm a hippie. I'm okay with that, which really pisses Em off.

Meanwhile, Mo decided to play with army figures this afternoon. If Em hadn't been out playing with her friends (who I think are the ones who tell her she has a hippie for a Dad), she'd have been livid.
