I was so proud of my mom at Thanksgiving. My aunt and her friend are so verbally against feminism. So, they were talking about how different boys and girls are and my mom jumped right in and argued with them -- about how we're all human and suddenly, these women started coming up with examples of how their boy and girl children were really the same, basically, in their abilities and all that. So, their reaction to any sort of equality between men and women was just a knee-jerk reaction and when asked to really discuss it, they are totally feminists, even though they don't know it!

But, that question is just perfect. I'm going to file it away for future use. :)
