Dear Teenage Boys,

It has come to my attention that girls of your generation are:

• Skateboarding (on longboards no less)
• Dying their hair wonderfully anime-ish colours
• Playing video games (yes Nintendo, I’m looking at you)

Back when I was your age, creatures this perfect existed only in my dreams. I could tell you how nice it is to see young women in video game shops, riding gracefully down city streets, all with such attractive shades of blue/purple/green/red/pink in their hair. But I don’t need to. You already know how good it is to be a child of the third millennium.

Lets hope by the time I have children gender equality will have marched evitably¹ forward, and they’ll find their happiness doing whatever it is they want, regardless of gender role. Unless it’s watching TV. TV will be verboten.

1. No dear reader, there is nothing inevitable about the march of equality. The cost of equality is constant vigilance. But the reward, dear reader! Think of the reward! (back)
