I am annoyed that people in the parent groups I belong to say things like "Looking for a girl diaper bag since I am having a girl" or "Looking for a girl baby carrier" etc. First of all, these objects are the parent's equipment, not the child's. Second, what difference does it make whether your diaper bag is girly or just nice or plain? Something CAN be nice and be suitable for men and women. If you want something feminine then own it, don't put that on the child. Third, do we have to drill a child's gender into them before they get to the age where their own preferences prevail (in which case they may indeed want everything pink). I mean come on people. If she was born with a vagina she knows it. She does not need everything in her surroundings to tell her like a billboard that reads "You're a girl and this is what that means."
But then again, who am I to judge? I just felt like putting that out there safely in the comfort of my blog :)
