This week I am writing about gender labels, or saying that something is for a certain gender. This happens way too much in society and it's wrong.
I've noticed that a lot of people think that certain colors, or certain hobbies are for certain genders. Even when we were little it has been pink is for girls, blue is for boys. That really wasn't a great example, because not many people say that anymore, but it's clear that young children think like that. We are teaching children that they can only like one thing because of our gender. For example, there's the stereotype of girls like shoes and shopping, and boys like cars. This isn't true, so why do people think like this? It's completely okay for a girl to like cars and fishing and things like that. Boys can like pink and shopping, and fashion, and things like that. Another thing about this topic is that it's frowned upon for a boy to like shopping, or for a girl to like cars. This idea should just be left behind because it's absolutely wrong. So, why do we believe this? This may be random, but I just thought about this the other day when I was walking around my house, and being weird. What are your thoughts?
