Incredibly distrurbing.
I know the woman who started Holding Out Help (http://holdingouthelp.org/). It's a great organization with an incredible start-up story. If you ever run into someone trying to unload a bunch of women's clothes or kids clothes, this is a good local organization to give it to.
This is a great parenting blog that I read on the New York Times: http://parenting.blogs. nytimes.com/ Beyond the actual blog entries, the commenters are usually very well-versed and have unique points of view. Here's are a couple on raising girls:
http://parenting.blogs. nytimes.com/2012/02/28/loving- pink-for-boys-hating-it-for- girls/ (this one is particularly annoying to me, as I was raised with two brothers and essentially thought that girls' things were embarrassing and bad -- no pink! no barbies! -- and boys things were to be desired -- gun play! riding motorcycles! be tough!. It wasn't until I met a very put-together, smart, scarf-wearing professor in college that I realized you can be smart AND beautiful! Successful AND wear lipstick! So when I read these kinds of posts where mothers are forbidding their daughters from enjoying "girly" things, it makes me crazy. Everything in moderation and for the right reasons.
