oh sure we've conquered sexism
When non-winter infant and toddler girls' clothing [*] has, as a rough approximation, at least 33% less fabric than boys' clothing (because we require two and three year olds to gender-conform by showing skin!), and when I was able to find precisely two picture books, out of the thirty-odd displayed face out at my local B&N, that had female-identified humanoid-ish protagonists who weren't princesses and who did things.
(One of those was white. The other was a pig.)
Fuck systematic oppressions, I say. Fuck them with a goddamn chainsaw.
Also, recommendations for picture books, or anthology-type-things of fairy/folk tales (about 10 min./tale), that are not sporkworthy are highly welcome.
[*] Not that I am shopping for these at the moment, but it remains a massive irritant.
