up right after the train started moving?” I wondered, “Maybe he had just realized that he missed the station?” While I was thinking, someone obtrusively squeezed past me—a young boy tried to take the seat. “Well.” I said. Of course, an empty seat in a crowded metro cabin always attract people to sit down. “Hey.” The boy was stopped by the man, who put an arm on his shoulder, and whispered something to him. The boy’s face immediately flushed. He stood up, and moved a few feet away. The man…

“Pink is for girls!” a 7 year old boy says to the boy wearing a salmon colored shirt beside him. It’s a phrase we hear all too often. So much so, that we most likely barely bat an eye at the sound of it. And that right there is the issue. Enforcing gender roles on these young and vulnerable minds is harmful.
