"You can repair a bicycle, but not while wearing lipstick. Everyone knows that lipstick prevents people from being competent."

"The flip side of all of this is that we shame any boys (and, to a certain extent, girls) who participate in activities or behaviors that are seen as being more 'feminine'."

"It’s less about enforcing rigidly defined gender roles on boys and girls and more about straight-up misogyny. Anything regarded as 'feminine' is still seen by men and women alike as occupying a lower status."

"The way forward isn’t to teach girls to be more like boys—that’s just the same old patriarchal shit of privileging masculinity over femininity. Instead, we should be teaching *all* kids that wearing skirts and loving pink and wanting cuddly baby dolls are totally cool and fine ways to be. There’s nothing inherently bad about being femme; problems arise when we try to enforce femininity on people as a means of oppression."
