So I've noticed a lot of knitters discussing color lately as "girl" colors and "boy" colors. Or saying things like "boys can't wear purple" or "Oh you're having a baby? Is it a boy or a girl so I know what color xyz to make for them." I'm sooooooo tired of this!!! This is how sexism is perpetuated. Its so unconscious though, folks don't even know they are doing it. That's why its my job to step in and enlighten them. Now here's the tricky part. Folks don't want to be enlightened. They enjoy living in their predictable sexist boxes. SO the way I see it, for me to spread the word of feminism is like christian evangelists who spread their word. Hopefully there are some out there who want to hear it. Maybe I should make pamphlets and go door to door.
