When we separate girls and boys like this--they are on a path to understanding gender in ways that ultimately limit their potential. This message is reinforced from birth on and is why we find ourselves in predicaments like getting girls interested in STEM and the need for separate building toys, for instance. The little baby girl is sweet and the words are inside a bright pink heart with flowers. Boys, on the other hand, are busy in blue on red. Again, sweet versus busy...girls are described using a word that is a reflection of their disposition (God forbid you have a baby girl who is not sweet) and boys get to be busy (not sweet). Boys do, girls dont. Note, they do have one similarity in that theyre both easy to grasp although, with that huge diamond ring on their finger, it might be more difficult for girls. Not to worry, though, because boys will always be there to help a girl who cant lift something by herself. After all, he was using a hammer when he was three months old! princessfreezone/pfz-blog/2011/9/12/rattles-and-the-beginning-of-gender-stereotyping.html
