We need to get rid of the name PowderPuff

February 20, 2016

When girls play each other in football, it shouldn't be called "Powder Puff." It should be called football. I just protested this issue at my school.

Google the history of the use of the word "PowderPuff" - it's completely sexist.

I started this blog to talk with other girls who play "boys" sports, as well as other sports, to discuss the microaggressions and sexism we are forced to deal with. I want this to be a supportive place for girls to share their stories and get advice.
