The path that begins, as d...

OK Parenting, OK? | Adventures in Boogieville.
https://mistressofboogie.wordpress.com/2013/03/20/ok-parenting-ok
Maternal Musings with a Feminist Flavour. OK Parenting, OK? I don’t try and manipulate my kids. No, not at all. I really need to explain the piano metaphor of that last post, don’t I? Contrary to how it appears, I’m not actually advocating hitting your kids over the head with a piano (although if you can lift a piano, kudos). So here is a post I was convinced I’d posted yonks ago which would explain it nicely. Only I apparently left it in draft. I’m not a very good one. Ridley’s book was published ...

Maternal Musings with a Feminist Flavour. How to Have Gender Non-Conforming Kids. Can I just point something out? When I say ‘.

Genitally-Operated Toys | Adventures in Boogieville.
https://mistressofboogie.wordpress.com/2013/02/16/genitally-operated-toys
Maternal Musings with a Feminist Flavour. OK, it’s way late to be posting this; this graphic has been doing the rounds since before Jesus rose again. And 2 I am suffering writer’s block like I have never, ever experienced before. These are the first words I have written in three months – for work or play – and if I don’t write something, I fear I will be certifiable within the next two-to-three days. I’m sorry it’s the best I’ve got, and please bear with me, but I feel better already. I’m excited t...

I love Pink is for Boys. 8216;Of the former boys who write me, some are gay, a few have transitioned, some are straight guys who like pink and nail polish. This is what I was talking about. Feminist. Loud-mouth. Somet...This ...

Boy in a Dress | Adventures in Boogieville.
https://mistressofboogie.wordpress.com/2012/03/23/boy-in-a-dress
Maternal Musings with a Feminist Flavour. Boy in a Dress. L’il Boo wants to wear a dress. If I were a different kind of person, I would get all panicky and start throwing Tonka trucks in his general direction, but I am not that kind of person. Not least because I know where this desire has come from. Every evening, to avoid school morning meltdown, I ask Boogie the following question: ‘Skirt, dress or trousers? He’s also, of course, seen that his sister gets choices he’s not offered. No &...Nothing becau...
