By the age of 6, girls think that boys are "more brilliant" than they are. Boys are admonished if they cry, and publicly blasted for playing dress-up as female characters.
To make more money, retailers push toys and clothes that are more gendered than ever. Pink and purple sparkly unicorns and kitties are usually the only option for girls, but would subject boys to endless humiliation.
Meanwhile, we still face pay inequity, sexual assault, violence against LGBTQ+ folks, structural racism, and workplace discrimination. We CAN do better, and we must start with the next generation.
