I work in a bookshop and yesterday at work a mother came in with her young daughter. They were looking at sticker books and the young girl, who couldn’t be anymore than six, picked up a book about space and said she wanted that one, to which her mother replied “You cant have that one, space is for boys”. She ended up with a book about ballerinas that her mum picked. Really annoyed me to see a young girl being taught that she can’t like certain things because they aren’t for girls, especially by not only another female but by her own mother!
