Gingerbread ladies?
Yes, that’s right: ladies. I was looking for gingerbread men recipes on line. To my utter astonishment, we apparently do not have gingerbread men any more. We have gingerbread people. People? Do we ladies feel so inferior that we feel undermined by gingerbread shapes taking a masculine, not feminine name? Hmm. Right. Well. I made gingerbread ladies: they’re wearing dresses and skirts.
In case any men are offended that they were left out, I also made some gingerbread men. They’re just not pictured, because ladies are, naturally, prettier to look at.
Oh dear! Perhaps I’m guilty of a lack of inclusivity too. Scratch gingerbread ladies. They’re gingerbread transvestites.
