Would you like to dress your child in pink to go to school? Would you let your child play with dolls or take a ballet class? Would you support your daughter if she wanted to play rugby? What if your daughter wanted to take mechanics classes or wear her hair short? For many people, it’s easy to answer these questions theoretically, but they still think that they hope their kids aren’t. , dance, sport or garment can you change it?
For many people yes, especially when it comes to children, with the advancement of feminism, certain behaviors, which were previously male only, are now quite normal for women, voting, wearing long pants or working is already considered normal for women. although more progress is still needed.
- However.
- The fact that men do things.
- Women is still misseen.
- Or is women’s behaviors considered inferior?What’s wrong with behaving like a woman?.
“The fact that girls have done childish things in recent human history (wearing pants, smoking, this madness to work with) has been seen as a breakthrough. Doing men’s things is an aspiration. We will try to make sure that doing things for women is also seen as progress for men. And for that, we may have to start by telling the boys that dancing, dressing pink and showing their emotions and weaknesses without fear of undermining their masculinity is great?-Henrique Hairstyle-
We often don’t realize that children just want to be happy, that they have fun with a multitude of things, games, colors or clothes, but they don’t make any sense, children don’t understand gender, only things they love Adults we are the ones who take these things away from them, because we see them differently.
“A few days ago, my two-year-old son chose a pink toothbrush at the pharmacy to take home. A pink brush, in fact, had to replace another pink brush that he used, because he obviously loves that color. I went to pay, the clerk asked, “Is this for you or your little sister?”When he found out it was for him, he added, “And you don’t prefer this yellow?”The child’s mother, with a sufficiently explanatory face of what was going on, looked at the employee and said, “No, the boy chose the rose and it’s fine. “- Hairstyle Quique-
Situations like those described by Quique Peinado occur every day and adults are responsible, these children will grow up thinking that pink in a boy is bad, and they will even think that doing things for girls is bad, but what’s wrong with it?
We get pregnant and give birth, but the child has to be cared for by both. We both feed him, change his diapers or walk him. So why do girls play with dolls to learn more about motherhood and they can’t?Do we teach them that only mothers care for their children?
But it’s not just with the dolls that we have these ideas, it seems that expressing emotions is a matter of girls and we don’t realize that we’re depriving our children of a part of themselves. We tell the boys that they are warriors and strong and that they need to fight, that crying is a “girl”. Don’t we teach them that emotions are bad? Or worse, isn’t it said that being yourself is bad?
We like to think that in today’s society, with all the progress that has been made in equality, our children may be whatever they want when they are older, but we educate them with gender stereotypes. Christmas toy catalogs.
With a few exceptions, when we start thinking about our children’s Christmas presents, we can see where they will go if we continue to induce them as we do now. For girls, there are dolls and toys that mimic home care. children, cars or construction toys.
So can girls aspire only to be mothers and housewives and men to work away from home?it’s yes. If we let them choose freely and without judging their choices, then they can be what they want.
The struggle of the sexes, of what is right for a boy or girl, as we have seen, remains on the agenda, but the good news is that it is up to adults to make that change. We have the key for the adults, of the future.
As parents or educators or adults in general, we must understand that genderless education, without gender stereotypes, depends on us, we must let our children freely choose what they want and educate them to respect others in their choices, because there is neither child nor child, but healthy and fun things for all children. Let’s educate people, not the sexes.
