My 3 year old girl has a lot of boy friends because she wears her brother's old McQueen shirts. But then she wants princess Sophia shwag because she gets encouraged to. I would rather she aspire to be both mechanically inclined and pretty than have to choose.

Thinking about this, I know there is plenty of pretty geekwear for women online, but I've never seen any for girls. Maybe I've never noticed? But then there's always the option of buying unicoloured stuff and the print shop.. not fixing the systematic problem though.

There's a huge problem with gender neutral clothing; or even gendered clothing with positive messages.

I don't want to buy my son a t-shirt with "trouble maker" type slogans. http://www.cooldudeskids.com/products/here-comes-trouble-tsh...

I don't want to buy a girl a t-shirt with "Princess Brat" on. Spoiled Princess: http://www.printfection.com/princessparade/Spoiled-Princess-...

I would love to buy t-shirts in a variety of sizes and colours, and if they do have messages I'd like those slogans to be positive; or with gender neutral prints.
