Hockey Mom vs. Soccer Mom

I was thinking about how Palin keeps touting her experience as a hockey mom, that I'm a full fledged soccer mom now (practice was yesterday!) then I was inspired by Mamita Mala's post about privilege, I thought that I'd price out the starting cost for this executive experience:

All prices are from Sports Authority. Please leave a comment if you think I forgot a piece of equipment. I left out things that might be under uniform (t-shirt, jersey, etc.) and I priced things out as cheap as possible on both sides.

Hockey Equipment Cost
Soccer Equipment Cost
Easton Synergy SY50 Senior Ice Hockey Skate 49.99
Wilson Traditional Soccer Ball 9.99
Nike Bauer Supreme 30 Senior Ice Hockey Shoulder Pads 59.99
Pro Feet Mens Acrylic All-Sport Team Sock - Minimum 2 Pairs Per Order 2.99
Nike Bauer Supreme 30 Senior Ice Hockey Elbow Pads 39.99
Lotto Stadio Azzurri Team FG 2T Soccer Cleat Mens 44.99
Nike Bauer Supreme 30 Senior Ice Hockey Shin Guards 24.97
adidas Predator Lite Shin Guards 6.99
Nike Bauer 1500 Ice Hockey Helmet & Cage Combo 44.99
adidas Valiente Short Mens 19.99
Koho 2100 Ultimate Senior Hockey Stick with ABS Blade 14.99







Total 234.92
Total 84.95


Something makes me think that the experience of a hockey mom isn't as shared as the GOP wants us to think.

Join the Summer of Feminista

After I posted about the Census and Dept of Ed boxes that don't properly include Latinos & Latinas, I received some comments & emails about this blog. Comments from Latinas about how they felt like they were raised in a feminist way, but without knowing or learning the word feminist. Comments about struggling with feminism as a Latina. Comments about feeling shunned in women's studies courses (as someone who has two women's studies minors broke my heart). So it's been stewing...What can I do about this? The Summer of Feminista (or so I'm calling it now, other suggestions much appreciated!) was born. If you are a Latina and have issues with feminism, things you want to discuss about feminism or merely reflect on how your abuelita raised you in such a radically feminist way despite the fact that she never uttered the word, then I am asking you to submit a guest blog post between the June 29th and Sept 14th, in other words, the rest of the summer. While I ...
