A real exchange via e-mail as to whether blue hats are for boys, gender stereotyping, head sizes ... and aren't you glad you don't live in Park Slope?

Subject: RE: Found: boy’s hat
Helene, I’m sorry, I know that you are just trying to be helpful, but what makes this a “boy’s hat”? Did you see the boy himself loose it? Or does the hat in question possess an unmistakable scent of testosterone?
It’s innocent little comments like this that I find the most hurtful…
What does this comment imply about the girl who chooses to wear just such a hat (or something like it)? Is she doing something wrong? Is there something wrong with her?
