It still astonishes me to this day that toys for children are divided by genders. And although we try to deny it, we’ve all done it at some point: Hot-wheels are for the little boys, Barbie’s are for the young girls.
And boys playing with hot-wheels can grow up from their childhood with no affects except for happy memories.

And that’s what the 10 year old girls should be thinking of when they stand in front of the mirror. They should focus on how happy they are dancing in cool rain, on the way home from school. And how they love bare feet walking on grass, and the way a newly harvested wheat field smells. People, of all ages, should open their eyes for how wonderful life is.
