RE: Maybe it's just me....
I guess I love my girls' shirts because they answer the question for me when people hound me about "are you going to try for a boy?" or "don't you wish you had a boy?" or "just girls, no boys?" Um, no, we just have girls and I couldn't be happier.
I guess I never read into it as being so offensive to boys but, duh, it is. I just asked dh if they were offensive and he said they were too. Oops.
And yes, I would feel differently, obviously if I had a boy. But I don't have boys and I really get annoyed by all the strangers in the world who assume that my girls aren't good enough because they aren't boys. Someone once held my newborn Meredith and sighed, "too bad this one wasn't a boy." That makes a mama bear's hackles rise and stay up.
