Stereotypes

         From a class assessment that I did today, it made me think a lot about the different stereotypes we have today. It's very common and well-known that girls associate with beauty, soft things, and girly colors along with the thought that boys associate with being rough, gross stuff, and boyish colors. But in today's society, wouldn't it be better if there were more gender-neutral stuff? That would give kids their own imagination to discover what they like instead of being forced these girly or boyish things, because they were born that specific gender. Today many people are truly discovering themselves and identifying as he/she/they, but it's not society's "normal" because we're all put in this mindset at a young age that girls should stay girls and boys should stay boys. 

    I'm all about being outside the box and trying different things. It's not a bad thing to have changes and we shouldn't be stuck to old norms, because of these stereotypes that people have come up with to define other people. I just wish that it's more acceptable to be different and be like everyone else.
