by Tracee Sioux “Olivia said she had sex with a boy,” my six-year-old daughter Ainsley reported. Sex has been coming up a lot lately.

Are there shorts under your dress? Why do I always have to wear shorts? Because, it’s no fun to sit like a lady. “Sitting like a lady” sucks. It pretty much rules out swinging, running, climbing trees, jumping on trampolines, somersaults, cart wheels, and sitting Indian-style during circle time at school. If you let your […]

She doesn’t have […]
I came across a blog: The Big Beautiful Wonder Woman Blog. It’s entirely cartoon sketches of larger versions of Wonder Woman. Seriously. On the sidebar the artist explains, I am in no way making fun of ladies (or anyone) who are considered ‘big’. I’m no toothpick myself, and admire and enjoy the female form in […]

We discuss new gender research and bounce around ideas about parenting daughters. My ultimate dream is to get one million people to care about […]
There is a fascinating piece in the New York Times Magazine, Teaching Boys and Girls Separately by Elizabeth Weil, about separating genders in a public school and how that’s working well for a few schools.
