There was a photo session at Leila's ballet school today. Leila picked her clothes, asked me to arrange her hair in a specific way, and put on some make up (well, the pink blush that the neighbor gave her since I have not yet given in for make up) and had a practice on the roof. Then she got to the ballet school and they "fixed" her (I suppose this is what they had in mind). Leila was pleased, she came home full of eye shadow and what not. I, on the other hand, wonder why some people think that I would be inclined to buy a picture of Leila made up as an adult or a doll rather than one of her being herself. Here is a place where girls should be dolls and I find it dull, unlike Leila, of course.
Anyway, we had a good time on the roof, until Leila stepped on my one and only survival head of swiss chard.
C'est le moment de (re)lire "les Eléphantes roses", ?
ReplyDeleteet autres livres pour réfléchir sur les droits des filles et des garçons, (une fille, ça a le droit de faire du vélo?, de courir, de manger en même temps que les garçons? de s'habiller en jupe ou en pantalon? de porter des chaussettes noires ou ...?, de parler?
en expliquant que dans certains pays, c' non !
Et d'ailleurs je l'ai vu chez des voisins, ici :
tout ce que disait le garçon était valorisé,
tout ce que disait la fille, contredit, sans que je comprenne les raisons...sauf par volonté de la rabaisser ?
