I was royally amused with this story
And the "Womyn"... hahaha
I wonder what your daughter said to you hahaha
Too cute
@kaerpediem,
My daughter is about as anti-feminist (by feminist, I mean 'radical feminist') as one gets ... and so are 90% of her high-performing, award-winning girlfriends. Science Fair Winners are now approximately 70% girls and there is a female majority in most of her Advanced Science Classes. Her only male rival for Valedictorian ... is her boyfriend.
Where's the Patriarchy? Where's the Oppression? The girls are drowning is college solicitations and scholarship offerings. Indeed, a number of them have expressed anger that the boys are being noticeably short-changed.
The only science-related classes that are skewed male are engineering and computer sciences. The teachers trip over themselves trying to convince more girls to enroll ... but the girls stubbornly refuse. Why? They find them boring. When you try to sell them on the subjects, they screw up their faces in looks of disdain bordering on disgust. Being stuck in front of a computer screen all day, every day, doing nothing but writing code is simply not their idea of fun (and, to be honest, it's not mine either).
Respecting my daughter's tongue-lashing, it was short-lived. She agreed with my sentiments completely and we actually laughed most of the way home. It was more a 'matter of style' ... I'm more 'extroverted' than she is and 'causing a scene' is not in the least bit problematic for me. My daughter's a bit classier than her Dad. :-)

Love your relationship :)
