Gotta love learning about how gender inequality starts in fuckin childhood. Not only have studies shown the wage gap starts in childhood but babies are also exposed to gender inequality. From shit marketed to baby boys vs. baby girls to adults sexualizing them; it happens from nearly day 1. And when I say sexualizing I don’t even mean what you may think- I mean parents and other adults calling literal babies ‘flirts’ and ‘heart-breakers’. It’s a fuckin baby, you turd, it doesn’t even know what ‘flirting’ is. (These examples are only the tip of the iceberg)
Then there’s fathers dictating what their daughters can and can’t do, mothers passing along their internalized gender standards, the whole ‘boys are easier to raise than girls’ bullshit. Gender standards with the binary are literally a social construct that have even been proven as racist as they disregard other non-western beliefs of gender. Gender being a spectrum has been around so much longer and the binary needs to stop being pushed onto the younger generations as it’s spreading the aforementioned issues of inequality and sexualization of minors.
And don’t get me fuckin started on children that don’t fall into the ‘binary’ and the shit they have to go through on top of this bullshit.
