Ripped From The Root
Growing up in a small southern suburb, I was only exposed to a limited idea of femininity, and I didn’t relate to it. Maybe it was the era, but it seemed like “feminine” translated to “useless”; clothes for girls were tight, short, and had insufficient pockets. All of these factors became a burden on the playground. Shoes for girls were painful and narrow. Toys for girls were meant to be looked at or styled, not built for action like the toy vehicles intended to crash through walls, or toy weapons that equipped one for neighborhood dominance.
