Sami was telling me about a situation in school actually a few. The first happened today. Sami was holding a door for a group of much younger girls, as they passed by, boys in the same class also went through the door.
Samantha approached the boys and asked them if she was a boy or a girl? She stated they had a dumbfounded look and answered "girl". She immediately scolded them and informed them that they are suppose to hold doors for girls and that even means her.
As mom I am proud of my daughter for being independent and standing up for herself, but also shocked that she is so forward. Wow that mirror hurts.
They other problem she has been there are a few macho boys in her class that diddles, and the girls, well they are hungry. As a mother of two girls, food don't last long in my house. Girls will eat and hurt anyone that stands in the way of their food. It is normal.
The boys seem to be slow according to Sami when it comes to lunch. Therefore the girls march to the lunchroom and even open the doors for themselves. That isn't the problem. Girls ought to be able to open a door, otherwise they could be stuck out in the rain.
The thing is, these boys don't get that nothing is going to stand in the way of girls and food.
All silliness aside, when did we stop teaching our boys to be gentlemen and our girls to be ladies. Ouch, I think I broke my own toe on that one.
I am wondering if in IFB Christianity it isn't the pant wearing ladies or the long hair men that is going to crumple our gender distinction. I predict it will be the lack of teaching about gender roles. Things as opening doors, or how a lady should walk. We are going to destroy our own foundation by ignoring the building blocks. That is my prediction.
