My friend’s son was four and had to have it explicitly explained to him that men can be scientists, too! Based on all the books he’d been read and other media, he assumed only women were scientists.
- Fire-Dragon-DoL 11mo agoMy son wants to be female because every super hero that's interesting to him, it's female (he is 4). We learned to coast with this, but I did complain about the lack of cool male characters for young kids: the female ones seems to be better curated and more abundant

- Fire-Dragon-DoL 11mo agoI actually want him to not differentiate between the two. I find concerning that he distinguishes female as "being better". Now of course he has a bigger sister he deeply loves and that's probably a big part of the deal
