I'm not sure if this fits here but it's something i have been pondering lately. I don't buy character clothes and try not to buy gender stereotypical clothes or sexually precoscious clothes either. I try to be conscious of where clothes/toys have come from. However, i also use a lot of hand me down clothes.

Some pieces of clothing have got me thinking. When does the stain of the sweat shop wear off? Am i being more ethical if i throw them out (well pass them on) or if i use them cos then i don't have to buy another piece of clothing? If my daughter wears a piece of clothing in public am i making a statement/ supporting the character or brand even if that is not my motivation for keeping that bit of clothing. If there is something i really disagree with (e.g. a girls t shirt with 'sexy' on it) is it better to throw it out or give it to charity because the t shirt is still clean and fine to wear?

Am i thinking too much?
