At this point, readers may be saying, “Big deal.  You’re cherrypicking anecdotes and making more of this than it is.”  This is a fair point; however, the sheer number of times some woman decides she needs to say dumb things like “I bet you love Hello Kitty!” (she does, but she also loves Batman and you’d never say “I bet you love Batman!”) based solely on my kid being a girl gets annoying, especially since I’m sure many of these women view themselves as progressive and feminists.  So why not ask her what she is into instead of imposing gendered likes on her?
