Since becoming a mother I have seen how much gender roles are being forced onto children, it really engrained in past generations, how they speak and act around them. My kids are my kids, they can do and be who ever they wish to be, this is one of the reasons why I have kept them from mainstream school also, because people are not even aware that they are restricting their freedom by what they say etc. Such an important topic @alchemage and you wrote about it so truthfully xx
