It will never not fuck me up how intensely gendered kid’s clothing is. Girls? PINK! Sparkle letters! Cute sayings and pictures of cupcakes! Dresses! Leggings with cupcakes! Tapered shirts for a body that won’t taper for seven more years! She loves her brother! She loves cute animals! She loves owls!
Boys? Flames and trucks and animals. Only big fucked up animals like tigers and sharks. Sayings about how he already hates women haha they nag so hard! Two tacky button downs! He’s too cool for style! Jeans so big he can barely run in them! Somebody get this boy more screen tee shirts with guitars and drums on em! He’s a rhythmic handsome boy!I have my theories about that. Since children are basically androgynous, since their secondary sex characteristics will not develop until puberty, theres this social need to overcompensate on external gender markers.
