Last sunday morning me and my friend Jackie were helping with children church . We were sitting with the kids at a couple tables and one 5 year old girl happened to see my ESB watch and said I was wearing a boys watch .

I said , " No I'm not , I'm wearing a Star Wars watch ."

" Star Wars is for boys " , she replied .

" No , its not ." , I answer .

" Yes , it is . " , she insists .

" No , its not . " , I counter.

( Yes , I know , I'm pathetic , argueing with a five year old , lol )

Meanwhile my friend Jackie is cracking up . I gave up argueing with the kid , there was really no point in continueing it . I was surprised that even at 5 years old , people think SW is not for girls .Which leads me to the question :

Why do people think it is so weird for a girl to be a SW fan ?

I don't see anything wrong with girls being SW fans , I mean , whats so weird about it ? So what if SW can be violent at times , we like violent movies ( sometimes anyway , or to a certain extent ) .

And girls LOVE romance and SW has that as well , that is a big reason why one of my friends adores AOTC ( and probably one reason she likes SW as much as she does and she likes it alot now )

My mother also told me of another incident .

She was at a store , buying SW stuff for my B-Day and said to the salesperson , " You'd never think this stuff was for a girl , would you ? " .

And the salesperson replied , " I thought this stuff was for a boy ."

Ah well , I guess people assume girls don't love adventure , fun , romance and all the other good things about SW . We shouldn't be considered weird for liking SW yet we are sometimes . If thats the way it must be then fine , I'll deal with it . SW is so worth it .

Thank you for reading this blog and comments are appreciated . I hope you enjoyed this blog .

May the Force be with us all
