Nice job on that cute baby!!!!!
People do say stupid things, and many of the straight women I know hate men. As Lesbians with children we have such a great chance to change the world with the people that we raise. Try to find a group of queers raising kids, we have one, and it helps very much!!!!
DP has been going to Michigan for 20 years, I have gone for 7, and Elin will be going for her third time. We have a great time!!! Boys are allowed on the land untill their fifth birthday, then they can spend time on the land at the Brother Sun campground. I know many mothers of sons that take their boys to Michigan, and love it!!
The policy is that the festival is for women born women, and their is lots of debate about the policy. However, a women's gender is not questioned on the land, and one sees a huge range of women there.
If you have more questions, you can PM me, and I would be happy to answer them.
PS are the Momazons still around??

I'm a lesbian mom of 4 boys in lesbianville! People often ask if all my kids are boys (my 2 year old has long hair and looks like a girl), when I say yes they just pause. I then take over and say how much I love having boys. Sometimes people will ask if I want girls and I say, maybe in the future. I'm a foster parent and would love to take in teenage girls when I have a bedroom available. I have to say, generally, I don't miss anything in having all boys. I just still want more kids.

Boys absolutely can be raised wonderfully. Many of the things that straight women, in particular, dislike about men are not things that are innate to men, but are the way that society pushes men. Read "Real Boys." It's very helpful.

The problem with this kind of talk, especially when it is done in front of boys who can understand is, it is a self fulfilling prophesy. The boys grow up feeling unloved, unappretiated, and learn to mistrust and resent women. I am sure you two would never do this, I was more referring to the poster who said her mother talks that way about/ toher son and grandsons.

My only advise would be to try to keep that energy out of your life.
