I tried to find the mindcandyclothing.com, but it appears to be no longer out there. Ideas?

Oh, and if Barbie doesn’t do math, how did she get to be a veterenarian?

Amen, Smrt Mama!

Jeez, that is so offensive on so many levels…Not the least of which is this CONSTANT barraging of our girls with this message that their looks/bodies are the only things of value that they possess. It’s disgusting. Yes, it’s just a “cutesy” little t-shirt, but I have spent the last few weeks getting summer clothes for my 3 year old, and am just fed up with clothes that are too short, too tight, and covered with these kinds of messages.

And while we are on the subject, I am sick of people who think it is cool to hate on math!

Ok. I feel better now.

I hate to see spellying error, too.

I wonder what sparked this on an older post? I think you’re handling it very well!

You go girl! I have been reading your blog for awhile and have intended to let you know that you are just right on most of the time…well this time I want to stand up and give you an ovation…then go do some math! Keep it up!

All the hate mail says I’m supposed to take it as a joke! After all, nothing funnier than putting a little girl in a t-shirt reinforcing some of the worst gender stereotypes!

Of course, I’ve also been getting comments (which I’m not approved or addressing) calling me names, telling me I’m a terrible homeschooler, a failure, etc. You should see the volume of comments.

This. Oh, so very this. I had a terrible time with math, from backward 3s to failing (repeatedly) the subtraction and division timed tests (50 problems, basic, 3 minutes). Had someone come along and just said “ah, you’re too pretty for this…” my life would likely be a much sorrier place. ;.; Seriously. Who teaches their kids that when it’s hard, that’s the time to skate by on other things instead of doing the work?
