lol @lynncoyle1 I'm glad you were channeling @davemccoy's word powers! I loved your comment :) and honestly, I grew up the same - in the woods and the dirt. I actually did one year of high school in a trade school because I wanted to do auto but I was ridiculed by the girls in my school, being the only girl in that area, there were all types of rumors and harassment - I ended up getting kicked out for fighting lol but the point is what we do to our children is not fair.. and mostly it's done subconsciously based on archaic mindsets and false presumptions.

I try to do the same with my two boys and luckily my husband is behind it (for the most part lol - he was raised to be a hardcore man) Even I have caught myself slipping up and auto-repeating one of those "those are for girls" comments had I have to stop and think to myself, huh..why do I think this ...am I speaking without thinking.. lol

I hope more people will start to unbox a bit to this way of thinking because I feel like this is closer to what freedom and sovereignty mean than what we are being told freedom is right now..

Thank you so much for reading and taking the time out to respond! This is the best part of writing because you get to hear others talk about their life story and perceptions, it's very cool! I appreciate it so much :)
