Brain washing

        Men and women, throughout their existence, have always stood on uneven grounds. In many religious customs, such as those in Judaism, Christiany, Islam, and many others, women are shown as the housekeepers, while men are the workers. The same can be seen in the reflected cultures of these religions in European and Middle Eastern society. While modern-day cultures display more relaxed views of gender archetypes, the concepts still exist

     For instance, baby boys are still born into blue, while baby girls are born into pink, in the United States. When parents shop around at Target for their new babies, all we still see in the boys aisle is jeans and t-shirts covered in cars and comic book characters and heroes. In the girls section, we find dresses, frilly clothing, and pastel colors. Wendy Norris remarks that "the underlying message [of baby clothing] is much more disturbing" as baby girl clothing still encourages that "[a female's] worth is inextricably linked to attractiveness and stereotypical feminine behaviors." At least her first steps likely will not be in pumps.

     Norris continues, telling experiences of other with the problems of not trying to influence their children with these stereotypes. Boy are seen as the tougher gender so they are give clothes that have something to do with basketball, soccer, or any other tough sport. In reality some of the toughest police officers and soldiers are in fact women. There is no way around the gender stereotype humans say we have so amazingly strived against.

    The past stereotypes created by society for both men and women has evolved and gender equality has developed, but humans still find themselves, even in little ways, still experiencing those pasts. The clothes boys and girls are reactions to those past and the past should stay where it is. We should strive to erase those gender differences starts with stereotypical need people have in clothes for girls verses boys.
