Reddit reviews White Gloves and Party Manners

Here's my anecdote: I never wanted to have dolls or be a princess, and I always loved legos, Erector sets, toy soldiers, and Hot Wheels cars. For some reason, I never seemed to want dolls. /shrug.

EDIT: I actually had an aunt who kept trying to "fix" me by giving me "girly" things -- I remember a book called "White Gloves and Party Manners" (this was the 1970's) she gave me for my birthday -- rarely has a present pissed me off more.

DOUBLE EDIT: Holy shit, you can still buy WGaPM: http://www.amazon.com/White-Gloves-Manners-Marjabelle-Stewart/dp/0883310546 -- does this ever bring me back to my baseball-playing Hot-Wheels-driving this-book-fucking-HATING youth!
