@adrianna True. However Russell seems to ignore preference a little bit. The reason people do different clothes for boys and girls is mainly because it wouldn't be profitable to do otherwise. There are plenty of designers that actually use the same designs for both girls and boys, and they still use sharper colour for boys and softer ones for girls. There is a clear preference, whether from their parents or the kids. Now should we ask toddlers what they want/prefer? Should we go against social norms even at the expense of the toddlers? Or should we indoctrinate children in either direction ? I believe we should maybe just move on and let the kids develop themselves, it is not the clothes or toys we buy them that defines them as people when they grow up.

Carl New “Women are not discriminated against”, really? You didn’t state you were a woman, you’re arguing that we have achieved gender equality, and your name’s Carl so I think it’s safe to assume you’re male. When you aren’t the one being discriminated against, it’s so much harder to see the discriminatory actions unless they’re extremely explicit (e.g. when women weren’t allowed the vote). But have you looked at media representation? That’s what shapes young girls’ (and boys’!) mindsets. How many female characters can you think of in films/tv/books/comics/etc. who have their own storyline and personality besides being in love with a man or a narrative tool to further a man’s storyline? Sure, you can probably think of several. But what if I ask you that same question again, but switch the genders? How many male characters can you think of who have a storyline that isn’t focused on love for a woman or who is just used as a narrative tool to further a woman’s storyline? I can assure you the answer to that question will be lower.

@hollybramhall1351

Carl New How about the proportion of women to men in a situation? Whether that’s in real life, or in a film/show/etc., or even just a single scene. Because generally, if 17% of the people are female, men see it as equal gender representation. But if 33% are women, then men see it as predominantly women. So next time you think a scene is dominated by women, just do a quick tally of men to women. I bet there’ll be more men than you think.

This is very harmful And no I am not saying that false accusations are not a bad thing all I am saying is that we don’t talk about how the life of people that were falsely accused of steeling or anything was destroyed. This showed that this is only a way of belittling women’s experiences and changing our thought pattern of we hear of rapes into thinking that it is probably a false accusation although only a very small percentages of cases are actually made up I think we should rather tackle the actual problem which is rape than making up one that is not actually that big.(I am in no way saying that accusing someone of rape is not just as disgusting as rape itself but it just does not happen nearly as often as rapes)

Back to the quiz, my screen loaded and I saw all sorts of engineering and computer jobs. I went to go show my guidance counselor and she told me something that I will stand by. “You know there’s a heavy male dominance in that area of work, but it doesn’t mean that you can’t do it” So in my future, I’m entering middle school next year, and my top two elective choices are robotics, and architectural engineering. 🙂

Mystireon however heroes and soldiers sell better with boys and fashion for girls because children are being programmed to like these things more. Quite often I’ve seen young boys want ‘pinker’ things and girls want more ‘boy’ things but their parents reject it, telling them they can’t have it because it’s not what boys play with or girls play with. McDonald’s gender isn’t specified in the rhyme yes, however in any visual version of the rhyme McDonald is always shown as an older man. Sure Mary took her lamb everywhere but it still doesn’t change the point that’s made in the video. Any child should be able to dress in any colour and for it not to imply anything about their gender, but that’s not how it is for many kids. And you’re right about the fact that boys are always told to ‘man up’ when something is wrong. There are issues with the way society teaches boys and girls and instead of going along with it we might be able to make a healthier and happier generation after us if we start to make better decisions. A child of either gender should have some freedom and equal life lessons, otherwise it’s just going to create some psychological stress later in life.

@iamkat5e

Mystireon Just wanna add that I've volunteered for a children's charity event and often saw parents actively choosing their child's toy! I had a box of different coloured balls, and countless times I've seen mothers put back their little girl's chosen blue/green ball and pick up a pink one saying "no, you should take this one because you're a girl". I've seen a few cases where older tomboy-ish girls would outright refuse the pink toy, but it still made me realise how these small actions are so effective in teaching young girls to act a certain way/like certain things.

When I was little I grew up with a book series all about Tinkerbell and her fairy friends. No. Not those ones. These ones each had talents just like the movies, but they also had a great deal of independence and spirit and wit and charm and above all other things *confidence*. There was ONE GIRL fairy struggling to find her place because she didn't quite belong, and it wasn't Tinkerbell. Her name was Prilla. She had the talent to basically astral project herself to the world of humans. No one understood her, but they tried to help her find her place. Except unlike the 'fitting the mold' lesson the movie teaches, in the end Prilla uses her unique skill to save all of Neverland, and is given her own Talent category. She is the only one, but they do everything for her and give her all the privilege of the other talents. They respect her. They revere her. Same with the water talent Fairy who cut off her wings to swim to partake in the saving as well. She is taught to be confident as a leader, to embrace her unique desire to swim and make the sacrifices necessary to do so. Except, she doesn't have to be flightless forever in the end. She's given not only a new means of flight, but a friend in the form of a bird who she rides upon and cares for and who cares for her. Every single book shows these girls as flawed, intelligent, brave, nervous, well rounded young women. Tinkerbell herself even maintained her temper from Peter Pan as the series is set AFTER her adventures with him. And the best part is....*the boy fairies aren't evil, they aren't mean, only one is shown to have a major crush but it doesn't control his character.* They're marketed at girls, to find *their* special talent and show the world how amazing they can be with it, but boys can read them too. Sure there are a lot of 'girly' elements and a lot of pink, but I personally feel the quality of the characters and the impression they made on me outweighs the need to market to girls specifically. Sure I also had Barbie and Polly Pocket and the princesses but *none* made an impact quite like the Disney Fairies book series did. I know this is a series of jokes, but some of it rings shockingly true. I'd hate to see the person I would have been without Disney Fairies and Kingdom Hearts in my life, and just raised in the shit bodyshaming and confidence destroying world so many girls unfortunately are raised in.

As a kid, I always secretly wanted to play with remote control cars and construction sets, but they were always in the "boys' section" so I never actually told my parents. Fortunately, my mum, knowing I liked putting things together, bought me a giant tub of lego, which expanded my world. Possibly related, I'm now an engineer. I really REALLY want to see more female engineers, so parents, don't just encourage girls to build rockets or robots; EXPECT them to build rockets or robots.

Minty Well I don’t know about expecting them to do so. I think encouraging children to pursue a vast multitude of hobbies and activities is important and honing in on the few they truly feel passionate about, but being gender unbiased about introducing these activities. There’s nothing wrong with fashion, we need people passionate about it, but only targeting it towards girls and expecting them to only value their looks is toxic. And vice versa with boys. Everyone has a calling and when we force children to be so selective with their choices we hinder their true potential.

My favourite toys before the age of 5 were my building blocks, my doll, and my teddy bear. I had other dolls, stuffed animals, cars, and trucks. Then we moved back in with my dad and he wouldn't let me have as many "boy" toys. I always wanted a remote control car or Hot Wheels but never got them. I remember really liking my Barbie's roller-blades, because they made sparks, so it was the closet I got. The pinnacle of this was in grade 5 when he made me return a scythe my mom had bought me for my Grim Reaper costume, because apparently girls can't have weapons. After that we stopped taking him seriously. When I have kids I will get them any type of toy they want (age appropriate, obviously).

It feels so relieving to hear somebody talk about this without people whipping out the usual "snowflakes" "you get offended too easily" "we've got bigger problems to worry about" "you need to get a life". I'm honestly too afraid to even voice my opinions half the time 'cause of the backlash.

TL;DR: I've got your back, Sara. ;P "Snowflakes" Why are people still saying this unironically? It was funny a couple of years ago. At this point it's about as cool a clapback, buzzword or comeback as rickrolling. Dead meme, man. More overused than Despacito is overplayed. People who still use it regularly PROBABLY wear socks with sandals. Just a hunch. "We've got bigger problems to worry about". Well... Yes. We've got bigger problems than gendered clothing and toys. Like North Korea. Or asteroids on collision course with our planet. Obviously so many things. We all knew that, but thank you for filling us in, Captain Obvious. Maybe we can do something about the small problem anyway somehow? I'm not a rocket scientist or someone that has indepth knowledge about North Korea, but I'm pretty good at a whole bunch of other things. It's almost as if different people have different skillsets, enabling to work on both big and small problems simultaneously!? "You get offended too easily". Thank you to this person for sharing their opinion on something that is so incredibly subjective? Lol. It's usually the pot calling the kettle black too, isn't it? I think most people have at some point been agitated or offended over something that most others might not give a rat's arse about, or see as a non-issue. We're all fucking triggered, and someone that says that they never are is either lying or dead inside. "You need to get a life" Now this is DEFINITELY the pot calling the kettle black. If expressing your opinions online is such a huge waste of your time, then surely reading said opinions and actually typing out a response is an even bigger waste of this person's time? This person is either a huge hypocrit or really doesn not understand this idiom.

I started wearing adult-sized clothing at the age of ten, and all I could find was ugly stuff. That caused me to reject the feminine style, and I convinced myself that embracing a girly style would make me weak. So not true! You can have whatever style you want and still be strong and confident! The problem with these slogans on girls' apparel, however, is they are limiting. "Be awesome" and "be pretty" are not equivalent. Girls are taught that their looks determine their value, and that's not okay. You can be feminine or masculine or whatever, but we should encourage all children to pursue their passions (and not just assume what their passions are).

How gendered marketing is still a thing AND makes companies more money: Lego example: Mamma Jenny goes into the toy store with her kids Billy and May. A Lego set is of neutral colors. Mamma Jenny believes the kids can share, even build things together. She buys one Lego set. Gender marketing happens. Mamma Jenny goes into the toy store with her kids Billy and May. Lego sets are now in pink and blue. Billy and May have grown up being told in every facet of their lives that certain things are for boys and certain things are for girls. Billy won't play with icky weak girl's stuff and May doesn't want Billy to touch her things. The cootie effect from marketing. Mamma Jenny buys TWO Lego sets.

None of you would actually recognize a witch if they bewitched you; you'd put it up to (bad) luck, or chance, or science. You have forgotten us, but you have not defeated us. And you never will. We are the guardians of the old world, the witches who maybe even burned at the stake in centuries past - and we remember. You will never know us, you will never prove us; and you will never destroy us.

And I remember thinking, I’m a girl and I really liked that book I guess I’m different from other girls. Which is where I believe the whole ‘I’m not like other girls’ issue stems from. The idea that you are alone when the things around you tell you that girls are more stereotypical to what they actually are. And when I grew up I realised that actually a lot of girls liked that book and I wasn’t the only one, however the ideas of ‘this gender likes this’ that are represented seemingly everywhere made me think that I was ‘different’, that I was like a boy. Idk that memory has just stuck with me for years.

Tim Riggins Bigger issue is that America likes to defend sexist people and things. Despite being a modernized world power. And considering that we consider ourselves one of the most westernized/civilized countries its kind of horrible that people talk like they do. Because there is no excuse to defend behavior like that. Awhile back there was a video that went viral - a waitress at a bar got slapped on the butt by a guy and instead of walk off she body slammed him into the wall and gave him a piece of her mind. She was slapped, so she pushed him against wall to yell at him. Seems pretty self explanatory, he got treated the way one would expect if you slapped a stranger. Well it was considered “controversial” with a lot of people saying the girl should be sued for assault. That she should have just taken it, that he was not doing any harm. That his girlfriend was with him so clearly he was not going to do more then that. That she overreacted and he was harmless. This is America, we state we are for freedom and equality. There is no excuse for something like that to be “controversial” in this day and age. And thats just in how your treated at work by customers. The kind of dialog people get with rape is so much worse. Other countries have rape facilities that you go to and they take dna samples off you. You have to do that with the police in the USA and quite often the police will turn women away. Im not saying that they refuse to see them- what they do is basically talk you into doubting what happened. Not a great thing as people will agree to about anything while in shock. Most hospitals are not even prepared to take the needed dna test, and no one knows to even try there instead going strait to the police. Then anytime a woman speaks about this they are called horrible insults making the girls bitter and jaded.

What bothers me is when someone is complimenting their daughter, either to her or to someone else, and the first thing they say is, "you're so pretty/beautiful/some compliment about their looks." My mom never does that. Yeah she'll kind of say it off-hand, or she'll say it if I'm doubting myself, but the FIRST thing she always compliments me on is my intelligence, then my sense of humour, then my creativity, and THEN my looks if it comes to that. I dunno, physical appearance wasn't high on my list of priorities so when I do start to feel bad about it, I can always go back to, well at least I'm smart and funny and creative. It sucks when parents FIRST focus on looks. Like, my husband's mom and grandma always talk about how pretty his sister is.

More issues with clothing: Girls have clothes that cover nothing. At school, when the dress code is relaxed, we still can't wear shott shorts, baggy pants, tight pants, or spaghetti strap shirts. So girls can't wear anything but jeans and a t-shirt. All girls shorts are too short for dress code. Also, they don't have pockets. People wonder why girls wear purses and I know people who thought it was because of girls needing more space but it isn't. I have multiple pairs of pants and jeans with the front pockets, if not all of them, sewn on. If there is a pocket, it is incredibly small.

There's still a huge stigma that if you're male and into that stuff, you're either gay or camp, and that shouldn't be the case.

That's why when it's pointed out that feminism is meant to support men as well, and people counter that it should therefore be called humanism, they're missing out on the point you make that many, if not most, of the biases and issues men face are due to the bias against and fear of the feminine.

@thetimekeeper955

You're absolutely right that there are boys/men who can't be what they want because "it's too girly." But that's not a result of an elevation of perceived "feminine" jobs above "masculine" jobs the way it typically is when a woman wants to do "men's work" (because men were originally the only ones not looked at sideways for having any job at all, meaning that virtually all jobs used to be men's jobs). As others have noted, that's because "the other end of the spectrum" is, unfortunately, still about women being lesser entities: "Girls can wear jeans, cut their hair short, wear shirts and boots. 'Cause it's okay to be a boy. But for a boy to look like a girl is degrading, because you think that _being_ a girl is degrading." -Madonna (as I recall) This quote shows exactly why it's not okay for men to be into "women things," and why they're arbitrarily identified negatively if they admit that they are (e.g., drag queens). It's not something done to protect women (from what?). Consider the insults used against men who are perceived as noncompliant because of a physical or emotional weakness. How many of them are associated with being female? "Don't be a pussy," "Don't be a bitch," and "He bitched out" are frequently heard. There are also plenty of male-specific insults, of course, for bad male behavior in other situations (e.g., "dickhead" and "prick"). Generally speaking, genital-related (and sex-related, by extension) insults are quite common, and both sexes deal with it. However, women don't generally get referred to with male-specific insults (unless the goal is to shame them for not being adequately feminine) because that would imply male strength, and that's not acceptable. Uncooperative women are "cunts" or "bitches." Female things, because it's still popular to view being female as something implicitly undesirable. And this view hurts boys/men too.

This guy is basically telling us that girly things are bad and that girls would be better off being more manly and getting boy toys. In actuality- they should feel free to do either.

It's about the idea that girl's toys are made with the intent to portray women in stereotypical female roles, which is a harmful message for children to receive. Like toys or dress that only talk about finding one's own identity through someone else. Not saying that wanting a family, or being a stay at home mom or anything is bad, just that girls should be introduced to the same thing as boys during development. The idea that girls don't matter unless married with kids is very harmful, and is definitely something enforced during early childhood development.

@Kardz22 I was more saying that "girls" toys are targeted towards being caretakers of some sort, which is not the only message to send to children, especially when that is not the message also sent to boys via "boys" toys. Girls like superheroes as well but, unfortunately though, till quite recently there were no female superhero toys made so there was that complete lack of representation. Parents more than children decide what to get their children, and if all you see on tv are toys geared to your gender being dress up, or princess, or taking care of children, would you not think that society was expecting that of you? I know I felt that, even though I didn't like many of those toys personally. Princesses are also stereotypically bad, because in society, they are often represented as weak, or waiting around for a man, etc. none of which are good messages for children to be receiving. (almost all movies or books involving princesses portray this message)

I am a female who had male stuff pushed on me my whole life. The few times I tried to look pretty and attractive my parents shamed and ridiculed me. Advertisers are disgusting and shameless. But parents have the most influence when it's most important: those early formative years. Why not expose them to BOTH? For that matter expose boys to both. Big girls don't cry? Oh really? Where are we now, unable to express emotions, barely talking anymore, living inside my own head, clueless about my identity. At a healthy 53 years of age, I have probably quite a bit of time left on earth. I hope I do good with it.....

That’s stereotypical and I never fit in that way, we shouldn’t ever be defined by our gender or what we like shouldn’t. Let boys wear dresses, makeup and let them be princess if they really want to be and let girls be knights or mighty battle warriors if they desire to. Material possessions never made us who we were or defined us as individuals and they never will. We are who we are because it’s just who we are, stop killing equality with outdated stereotypes. Stop making boys feel like they always have to be manly and stop making girls feel like they always have to be womanly.

Let boys play with dolls, let girls play with cars. Teach girls their worth and teach boys love and emotional support. Teach boys that friends can be a support network, let boys love their friends! Let boys be vulnerable, teach them vulnerability! Personality is more complex than man vs women or this make you a man, this makes you a woman. Teach boys that conquest isn't necessary, coordination and cooperation is. Let boys wear makeup, paint their nails, teach boys that being pretty isn't bad. Teach boys to confide in adults when something serious happens, teach them "no" and teach them how to process trauma. Teach girls boundaries and what is and isnt okay, teach girls about autonomy.

Blanko all my female friends like blue

When we talk about toys. It goes for both sides. I think that toys shouldn't really be gendered. I was lucky to grow up with an awesome mom and a little brother. My brother and I loved to play together. We would play with dolls or we would play with cars. We would play kitchen or build Lego. It was always fun and we just did what we felt like. When we were younger we also always had the same friends so we celebrated our birthdays together. But as we grew older we really separated in our interests. Which was partially because we are different people but also because of stjbid gender roles. My brother stopped playing dolls with me, because his friends told him it was girly. (He also had that one friend I hated who used to punch me and be mean to me and constantly tell me I'd belong in the kitchen. He was 7. WTF?!) I started to get interested in star wars (the clone Wars animated series) and always wanted to watch it. But when it was evening and mg brother saw me watching it he and his friends told me I was a boy. Nowadays I would never care about what people thinks or say about me. But as a really young child it definitely influenced me (I haven't watched star wars until now(But I'm planning on doing it soon)). Looking back most negative influences were my brothers stupid friends. It's honestly weird. If boys do "girly" stuff it's way worse for them than for girls that do "boyish" stuff. I used to play with my brother and his friends. Things like nerf gun war or just things at the pool. I was always "the girl". So if we made teams at playing with the nerf guns it was just everyone else against me. But if I'd just tell them about how my brother and I used to play with dolls, they would immediately attack him. There was this one movie-series my brother and I both liked. It's about football (or soccer I guess but I'm from Austria so I'm gonna call it football) In the first movie a bunch of eleven year old boys have to play football against a bunch of 14 year old boys to win back their stadion. A girl sees them practice and wants to be on the team. They say no. She invites them to her birthday, where she plays against them to be on their team. She beats them. And she's on the team. That's not the main plot the plot focusses on football and it does throughout all five movies(There are actually six but the sixth one was released 7 years or so later and is not that good. It's like the cursed child in the Harry Potter series). Kinda. It gets we are. In the fifth one are Vampires. The movies are called "die wilden Kerle". I have no idea if they have a English dub. They are German. And they are my childhood. That went on longer than it should've. I don't think anybody reads this through. It's mostly just for me. But if you read this: go watch the movies I mentioned they are really good. Especially for German movies. 😂😍🤗

Any man (like RH) who is prepared to define women as weak, vulnerable, helpless princess damsels who need rescuing by male feminist white knights is going to earn a shit load of support, adoration and money...... RH is a smart guy.

I'm just now discovering this man, and I've got to say, I absolutely adore him already. His videos address real issues in a way that is humorous, and attention grabbing. He has successfully created a lighthearted dialogue about complex issues that can be really hard for people to talk about. And it really gets you thinking. This Is how you change the world through the power of comedy! Well done!

See. This is the thing so many people over look when we talk about the disproportionate ratio of females in STEM fields. Girls aren’t interested in going into STEM because we teach them not to be interested in it from the moment they’re born. For eighteen years of our children’s lives we bombard our boys with sports and science based interests and the boys who want to be in the fashion industry or do something “feminine”, even if they’re really good at it, loose out. And girls who might’ve excelled in STEM fields never even discover their interest in it until it’s too late because we tell them all they’re good for is their looks. Don’t get me wrong. There are physical differences in women and men that causes some skewed ratios in the workforce. But for anyone who thinks that the way our society categorizes our children has no effect on this is delusional.

Percy Ross By your logic, we should also teach women to become garbagemen, coal miners, and other jobs that are mostly occupied from men. Also, you need to take your tin foil hat off. We have the right to choose, and with as much power feminism has right now and how encouraging women to go into STEM fields maybe it’ll change. Or maybe not. Forcing it down peoples throats isn’t the way to do this. Men and women are biologically and psychologically different. Gender stereotypes will always exist. It’s their influence on people that can change. Personally (although I’m probably wrong) I think paying attention to them (like feminists do with the very idea of patriarchy) is part of the problem. Furthermore, our society isn’t directing stereotypes at our children. If a child sees a toy that appeals to them, they’ll ask their parents to buy it, and the company will gain profit, meaning that they’ll push out more of them which will gain profit. The main reason that women are interested in fashion is simple biology. Women and men have different brain chemistry, and generally, women have an innate desire to look pretty (which also can be explained by natural selection) which translates into the 21st century, where they are interested in fashion. I could make a similar argument for interests for men for example the reason why 93% of workplace fatalities are men. Is there a social construct adding on to these gender differences? Yes. But that’s to be expected, it happens all of the time not just with gender.

@percyross7612

Lukayaba By what logic? We don’t tell our boys to be garbage men and coal miners. My point wasn’t encouraging our daughters to go into male dominated fields, it’s was just to encourage our children in general indiscriminately to pursue worthwhile careers. My point was that we teach our children their gender roles from a young age and the roles we have created are dangerous and harmful. There’s a reason why women in first world nations have the highest rate of depression and low self image. It isn’t that their problems are frivolous. It’s that we tell young girls that they have to be pretty, that their worth based on how beautiful they are, that the only major contribution they can make to society is skin deep. We don’t do this consciously of course because we too have grown up with these stereotypes. We naturally push “feminine” toys and products onto our girls because we were raised to believe these are things girls like. Our children have preferences because they grow up with society telling them what preferences they should have. I mean of course there are biological differences between men and women. I’m not disputing that. But to believe that the disparities of gender ratios in our work force is only due to biology is completely delusional. How we raise our children has a big effect on their preferences in the future. It’s why children often go into similar career paths as their parents, or have similar hobbies. Biology may play some role in this but really it’s a mixture of both nature and nurture. And right now on the nurturing side of the spectrum we are failing our children, and in this case our girls. We aren’t forcing anything down anyone’s throats. You speak from a perspective that our preferences are purely our choices and our upbringing have no effect on this but that simply just isn’t true. I’m not saying force all women to have an interest in STEM. I’m asking people to encourage all of our children, regardless of gender race and upbringing, to pursue worthwhile interests. And if they still aren’t interested then that’s fine. But it’s not fair to not even present the opportunity to our girls to grow an interest then use their lack of interest later in life to cite how girls inherently aren’t into STEM. On top of that it’s very frustrating when that small percentage of men cite the skewed ratio of women to men in the STEM fields as evidence for male superiority. Of course there will be some skew but they completely ignore the social aspect of it. They blame women for not being in STEM while at the same time discourage women from ever developing an interest in it. Do you see the hypocrisy? As a society we grow and evolve. We find things wrong with our society and fix and improve upon them. Tearing down these damaging gender roles in just the next step. But this doesn’t just get done by sitting back and assuming society will change on its own if that’s how it’s meant to be. Many of our rights and luxuries we enjoy today come from hard work and effort from those that came before us. Things don’t just magically get better.

The girls mostly went for "girly toys" and the boys went for "boyish toys". This proves boys and girls are different. So they will have different career choices. IF they really wanted to go into science or engineering then they would not be deterred by having "girly toys". And also I'm pretty sure more women graduate from university then men it's just women chose to go into other professions even though they have a wide range of choice.

XTrojan XLMao What test could you possibly be talking about? And little to no social interaction? What. Are these infants a few days old? That sounds illegal and there’s no way I’m going to just take your word on such an outlandish claim. Likewise, what does “boyish” or “girly” even mean. On a historical context these definitions are constantly changing across all time periods and continents. How are these factors even measured.

this is what real feminism is.

Thank you Russell. I spent 35 years teaching in a girls' school, taking every opportunity to build their self confidence. It was an uphill battle, and one that I rarely won. It was so ingrained in their thinking that most would shy away from anything that might make them appear less "girlie". Too many thought that you could not be feminine and have a non-traditional career. I've nothing against girls having toys, etc., that are pink and sparkly, but why can't some of the manufacturers (and the families who buy these things) realise that a super hero doesn't have to have to be super macho. Feminine and super hero are not opposites. Feminine and engineering are not impossible.

H Wh Going to an all girls school, I can say that barely any girls will be left on this world.

I find this interesting because when I was little I would always get Barbie and Bratz dolls and horse and princess related toys for birthdays and Christmases. Yet I never really played with those toys. The only time the Barbie dolls were removed from their packaging was when my cousin came ovr and she played with the dolls. Eventually I gave them to her. The gifts I liked getting and would actually play with were the 'boys toys', the science experiments and the cool contraptions and the little engineering project things. My favourite books, then and now in my later teens, have always been the ones targeted at boys. Action and adventure and science fiction have always been more interesting to me than books based in the real world, or focused entirely on romance. In fact, I've developed a habit of seeking out 'boys books' (if they're seperated), when I go to read, because at least I know I'll find those interesting and enjoyable to read. I remember reading a book one time, and in the back was a list of 'books for boys', and I went and read and loved every single series on that list. Having no gender specific toys (and books!) would be an amazing accomplihment, and would have stopped me getting so many toys when I was younger that I had absolutely no interest in, and fueled my love of and interest in science even further

Yep - I think I asked for a Cabbage Patch Kid one Christmas primarily because it was a THING. It was what EVERYONE wanted and I just felt left out not having one too, but when I was by myself I never did a single thing with it besides sit it on the shelf. What I REALLY wanted from my list and was SO excited to get was the little model Interstate Trucking set with the pipe loader and gravel hauler that actually collected the pipes and gravel and dumped the load at the other end of the run. I would prefer playing after school with the family that had three boys because they had cool stuff like electronic handheld games, model cars, and Voltron Lion ships and TRANSFORMERS while my girl friends all had Barbie stuff. Ugh. Though I did have exactly ONE Barbie, that was just so I could play with her fancy remote controlled corvette and her horses - I liked Barbie's toys better than Barbie! I was lucky though, because my mom was a biology teacher who was big on any kinds of educational toys that helped you learn things, and my favorites were puzzles and chemistry sets and microscopes and things to make and mix and build and BOOKS. Books were a solid hit no matter what. And I wouldn't sit through a second viewing of Titanic even if you paid me, as it was eye-rolling enough the first time around...

This says more about your parents than you. Your parents either intentionally refused to give you toys they knew you liked or you liked the dolls at one time which is why they got them for you. This also proves another point, that many girls like Barbies and other dolls which is why manufacturers keep making them! Nothing wrong with girls who like girly things, I am also a science bod but these days I find more girls seem to "identify" with this non-gender stereotype because it's fashionable than because they actually mean it. Who cares if you like barbie and the mainstream? I know a girl who has always liked Barbie and pink and sparkles, paints her face does her nails, wears dresses and has a PhD in microbiology and worked for Pfizer, the two are not mutually exclusive FFS.

I still have a huge collection of make up. Purely because people kept buying it for me for Christmas and birthdays and i never used it. It wasn't until recently I asked why they kept sending me it throughout my childhood. Because I don't wear make up, they assumed that I must have run out - rather than the actual reason which is that I can't be bothered with the stuff (except for prosthetics, that's fun to muck around with). I'm glad I had brothers, we used to mix our toys, so it didn't matter who got what. I played with action man and lego as much as they played with polly pocket and barbie

Xanxei if a woman shaved with a man's razor they'd bleed pretty badly. Biologically women have more sensitive skin than men so they need to make special razors most women need to shave and they're more expensive to make. Plus, women's razors are mainly designed for legs and men's for facial hair.

This is why youtube needs a Love button!

This guy gets it. A child of the 50’s I could never understand why girls clothing was so lame, not warm and barely functional. Boys got to do more fun and interesting active pursuits. Girls toys were so lame. I loved going to the hardware store with my dad every weekend until one of his friends made a mean crack about girls staying home with their Mothers. His same age son smirking at me. The next trip when I went to get in the car - Dad pushed me back and said stay home and help your mother…. to this day I’d like a word with my Dad’s friend. It might include 60 years of pent up anger.

I love this clip! Both my parents were ahead of their time and supported me in what ever I wanted to do. When I elected to do Technical Drawing at ‘O’ level, the school said no because it was a 3 year course and the boys had already done the first year. My father fought my corner stating that that was my problem and if I really wanted to do it I’d catch up. I did. By the end of the first term I came first in the end of term exams. I received the only A pass ‘O’ level. The trade off the school insisted on when they agreed to me taking Tech Drawing was that I also take shorthand and typing as a fall back position when I failed at becoming an engineer. Little did they know how much help being able to typing was going to be. I did study Engineering, I was the first girl to do so at college. I have just celebrated my 60th birthday. Parents attitudes to their children’s upbringing is key. I married an engineer and had children, they were encouraged and supported to do their own thing. My daughter has a Masters in English Literature and my son did a degree in Gaming Design. Who knew!

I don’t watch regular tv much, and I don’t have kids so I never realized how patronizing girls’ toys are! This is insane!

Even if you don't have kids yourself, surely you remember being a child and seeing gendered advertisements? I also don't watch regular TV and don't have kids, but I remember vividly growing up in the 90s and walking past the very much gender segregated toy aisle when my parents took me to the store, and seeing commercials of boys playing with transformers that had a bunch of functions and girls playing with dolls that had... pink, mostly. And brushable hair because brushing hair is the glass ceiling of fun I guess.

@theawecabinet

Girls like brushing / styling hair and hair products and accessories because thick, long glossy hair is a sign of fertility and health. Female hormones produce thicker hair (hence the market for 'volumising' products). And dressed hair is a sign of social status (you do not scrub floors for a living). What feminism is doing by attacking gendered toys and gendered behaviour is attacking the very biological essence that drives men and women. Loads of young women are now being pushed into careers and lifestyles they do not really want, only to drop out and have to go back and do what they wanted to do all along .... or hit 30 and panic because they actually want a baby and a husband and now they have 5 years to find one and all the good men are already taken and they have hit the wall and must now compete with women 10 years younger than them..... cue low self esteem problems and loads of cosmetic surgery and botox etc. Feminist just cannot leave people alone, they want girls to be more like boys and boys to be more like girls. It is deeply disturbing.

Grew up in the 60s/70s with two older brothers - we just had toys that we shared, can't remember things being so specifically gender targeted as they are now.

They learned DIY & car maintenance - so did I. Thanks Mum & Dad!
