Hm, okay, I'll be serious. I don't consider myself a feminist, not as the term is typically used (but I do agree with Boost on the diapering option). I'm in favor of equality of opportunity. That to me doesn't mean seeking equal results, gender neutrality, or encouraging gender non-conformity. I think, by-and-large, boys will be boys, and girls will be girls. My niece has always hated wearing things on her feet - socks, shoes, slippers, any of it. Then one day her father buys her slippers she absolutely adores. They're Darth Vader slippers. She is too young to know who that is, she just loves them. I don't see it as a feminist victory, it's just awesome.

Wait till your little niece gets to school, or is exposed to enough media to learn that Star Wars is for boys and she needs to get into princesses, bows, and dieting. 

As we have 'gender' currently defined in our culture, gender non-conformity is required for equality of opportunity. 

If you agree with me on the diapering option, you're already for gender-role non conformity.
