I believe that this is very much real, but that it's very difficult for individual pairs of parents to 'do anything about it'.
I have a harm reduction approach to this. Gender stereotypes are a bitch, but trying to de-gender my kids will end up with more damage. The best I can do is to provide models that there isn't anything anyone could not do or be because of he's a girl or a boy.
I'm very much enjoying watching the Women's World Cup at the moment, as that will hopefully break up a few silly stereotypes about women's sport.
Is there any hot babes to look out for?
