Ya know that old adage saying pink is for girls? or those shirts that guys wear with "real men wear pink" blazoned across their chest?
Welp folks, pink is for everyone.
In the beginning of time when pink was identified as a girl color and blue was identified as a boy color, I don't think whoever said that knew what they were getting into. To me, this was the beginning of the distorted gender roles outlined by society. I mean I understand dressing baby girls in pink and baby boys in blue so ya know people can tell the difference, but as they get older, I think the lines shouldn't be so harshly drawn. They should be able to make their own decisions. What's wrong with your daughter choosing a dump truck over a Barbie?
When we start looking at males and females as two separate species instead of one people, problems start arising. Women need to know that they don't have to rely on a man to take care of them. Women are important and strong and just as capable as men. To say "that's a man's job" is absolutely ridiculous. Throughout the ages, women have been viewed as delicate little flowers with fragile minds and unstable emotions which couldn't be more wrong.
So what's wrong with your daughter choosing a dump truck over a Barbie? What's wrong with your daughter choosing to further her education instead of getting married and having children?What's wrong with your daughter choosing to help support her family rather than relying on a man who belittles her? What's wrong with you daughter being happy alone than unhappy in a toxic relationship?
Whether you're male or female, makes no difference. We're all people with struggles and hardships. Throughout history, women have been made to feel less than human, but we're not the fragile creatures that society has led us to believe.
