Sofiya the Snow-woman

Why is it that all snow figures are automatically men?  It wasn't until Esmé wanted to name her snowman Sofiya that I realized the only English word we have for this strictly implies that if we ever build a person out of snow, it must always be a man.  There is no other word in our language for it.

Sigh… the older my girls get, the more feminist I become.

  1. You had a fair amount of snow! Tyne looks like a lump plopped onto the snow.
