My DD's school offers cross stitch as an extra curricular activity for my DD's year (year 3 equivalent) and the year above. The teacher who runs cross stitch club was touting her wares in the classroom at the beginning of the week and DD came home wildly excited about this activity. Fine, because it's on a Monday, is pretty low key and won't tire her, and it's a nice artistic activity and a good introduction to sewing.
I was a bit stunned at the reaction of many of DD's friends' parents, who are dead against this activity on feminist grounds. WTF? The club is open to all, boys and girls, and is for 6 and 7 year olds.
AIBU?
