The problem is people perpetuate them by trying NOT to. Like, I'm not going to bash feminists (though they seem to love bashing me) but most of the time, the feminist agenda tries to promote special treatment for women over men, not equality. Then people go out of their way to NOT discriminate against women and end up discriminating against men. They all mean well but if people would just look at people as 'person', not gender, ethnicity, ect. the world would be a better place.

But like you said, it is a long way to go.

And my mom brought up how she didn't like this story because 'the baby HAS a gender' and the problem is, she didn't really look at the whole story before chiming in. She seems to think they're like... idk, not explaining what a boy and a girl is to the kids or something. Idek what she meant but her argument made NO sense and I could tell she probably heard a version of a TINY bit of the story and formed an opinion on that rather than looking at the grande scheme of where IT IS A SMALL CHILD! Think about them... all little kids look the same, if a little girl had short hair and wore boys clothes, people would think it's a boy. If little boy had long hair and a skirt, nobody would know it's not a girl... no matter what the reader's opinion on gender in society, the point of it is that, at LEAST pre-pubescent, all kids basically look and act the same, so what does it MATTER what a 4-month old's gender is?
