For several days now, students in a school in Quebec have been wearing skirts to school to point out the hypersexualization of women's bodies through girls' clothes.
The boys have joined the fight against gender inequality!
Well done boys! Awesome move!
Did they tell you that skirts and dresses are for girls and pants are for boys?
Did they convince you that pink is only for girls and blue exclusively for boys?
If you’re a girl, have you ever wished you had a sweatshirt that’s “for boys”?
If you are a girl, did you ever want a toy car or a toy gun, and they didn't want to buy you because "that toy is not for girls"?
If you're a boy, did you want to play with dolls and barbies, but they told you "it's for girls"?
I have to tell you that colors have nothing to do with gender. You can wear the colors you want, it says nothing about your gender. Feel free to buy all colors for both, boys and girls.
Also, I have to say the same for toys. Toys have nothing to do with gender. Do not push children into one mold. Girls can play with toy cars and toy guns. Also, boys can play with dolls and with kitchen toys.
Let the children play and explore.
-->Don’t impose fiction on them in a gender roll set by patriarchy. Let the children choose and don't set stupid limits for them.
Also, you adults, reject false beliefs!
One more thing, it is completely normal for a man to cook, wash dishes, vacuum, clean the hoise. It is perfectly normal for a woman to drive a taxi, be it a pilot or a soldier.
Also, read this:
I grew up without those dispositions bevause my mother didn't entertain them. My brother and I were forced to do the dishes, and everything that was called the 'girls' job. We felt cheated, since my sister wasn't forced to do the 'boys' job, like washing the car and other things.
Until I got to school, then I realized how deep patriarchy had been integrated with our system, even without some women doing. The men stay at home and drink and eat with their friends. The boys stayed by their fathers and learned how to be '0men' - providing money for the family and then feeling like their obligations have been completed. The women and girl children ran around getting firewood, water, cooking and having to bring food on time.
To me who came from a home where all children were 'equal', this felt like a strange new world. People were surprised when I asked how the world could be so wicked to women.
Some answered. 'but it's their work."
I feel like your narrative greatly explains things. Great women like Amelia Earhart, Cleopatra, Queen Amina and others will go down in history as women who defied the boundaries of 'a woman's place in society'.
