Okay, hmm… I think this is an interesting Momversation. But in the editing room it became more about guns specifically than I had intended it to be. I think Rebecca and Alice all have great commentary in this.

My larger point was more about reinforcing my daughters “tomboy” (for lack of a better word) or fiesty side. Much the same way that I didn’t shut her down when over dinner she told her dad to “x-it, that means be quiet” when she was telling a story. I think girls become woman who silence themselves and defer. Why do you think there are so few woman in talk radio?

And with this super hero/fantasy play, I think kids are trying on different hats, and I am not going to declaw her when she will need them out in the world.

And to squash these impulses is against this little thing called human nature.
