A friend of mine posted a picture of his daughter on facebook today wearing this, granted, pretty cute t-shirt with two glasses-wearing beavers that said, “Smart like Dad.” He commented that they’d tried to find one that said “Smart like Mommy,” too, but that the only alternative was “Pretty like Mommy.”

Yup. Nice to know that in 2011, kids still get to choose what they want to be: smart like a man or an object for other people’s viewing pleasure like a woman.

 Forget about giving kids the choice… those kids have no say; they are being coerced into patriarchal standards before they can talk.
