GENDER STEREOTYPES
Many people assume that
because you are a boy or girl
you should look, dress, act, talk
and even think and feel certain ways.
For example:
Girls are meant to be housewives when they grow up, not doctors or lawyers
Real men don’t cry
Girls who are skinny are more sexy
Girls who wear skimpy clothes are lookin' for sex
Guys who have big muscles are more sexy
None of the above are true…
this is just what some people think!
Every boy or girl is unique, and has different
dreams and goals in their life…
