Gender

Today is “Gender Bender” day at school. On one hand I’m kind of horrified at the idea; on the other hand it is kind of interesting to see what the kids will do and how it will piss me off (cause it surely will from a few of them). The kids told me I HAD TO participate. So I stole Noah’s button up short sleeved shirt and kilt. Hey–it’s practically a uniform for most of my male friends! Oh, and my knee high Fry’s boots. They totally won’t get it, but I do.

I’m feeling very tempted to basically punt on the lesson plan and go with discussions of what “gender” actually means/implys in our little society here at school. Hmmmmmm

    DO IT!!!

    That would be so much fun. Well, no. Probably not fun. Their answers would probably annoy me. But, it might be good for some of them.

    Great idea…get in their little heads and infect them with your dangerous liberal ways!!!!!! 😀 (I’m still appalled by this “conservipedia” thing I just heard about on NPR – ranting in my head about “conservatives”)

    I think it’s nice to make a dent in their gender norms and some of them will have their lives changed by you in very positive ways as a result – however , some simply won’t get it. I love love gender bending, but I suspect I don’t do it in quite the same ways your kids are today.
