Why It’s Great to Be a Girl.

It’s a tough time to be a girl?
No, it’s a great time to be a girl.
I was delighted to see this eight-year-old girl’s list on Reddit. We get a little bogged down in these back and forth “adult” discussions of masculine and feminine and who has it harder, who needs to change. Maybe it’s time to get back to basics and appreciate ourselves—and each other.
In 27 years, I will be expecting her name as an option on the ballot to vote for President.
If my girls have half her passion and confidence then I’d be a happy dad…good on her!

Kate Bartolotta is the strongest girl in the world. She is the love child of a pirate and a roller derby queen. She hails from the second star to the right. She doesn't know how to behave with all the apples and ibexes. She doesn't suffer from her eight million freckles, she loves them! Like a rolling stone, Kate gathers no moss. Kate loves kale, being barefoot, Dr. Seuss, singing too loudly, gallivanting, palindromes, blackberries and has far too many books for her own good. When she's not writing, you can find her practicing yoga, running in the woods, playing with her kids, devouring a book, planting dandelions, changing the world and doing her dishes. Kate does not play the accordion. She is a massage therapist, writer and a compassionate friend to all. This year Kate aspires to finally give up on learning to knit and will instead spend that time putting a little bit more of her heart on the page. Connect with Kate on Facebook and Twitter

[...] I too have a little girl. In fact she was with me while I watched the dental show down. She was wearing her favorite Halloween sweater (yes, in January) underneath her favorite tie-dyed tutu dress. She’s two years old and wears whatever she wants. Frankly, I let her choose her own clothes because I don’t have the energy to argue with her about what to wear, especially since she changes outfits more times in a day than I can count. Hey, she’s a girl, that’s what we do…right? [...]
