Gotcha, sport for men, kintting for women.

I've got a young daughter and I despair that this sort of attitude* persists. She's only 4 and already I've seen countless examples of expectations placed on her as a girl in terms of what she should do, how she should behave, what she should be in to. It's really tuned me in to this stuff where I was largely ignorant of it before, and it's everywhere.

*although I'm sure it's usually done with no ill intent.
