Response to the article
This article made me sad but it is to true. Boys are not allowed to play toys however girls are allowed to play with boys toys. I think there is nothing wrong if the boy plays with girl toys however his gender is a boy and society says he has to act that. About the costume that he wanted to be a princess i find nothing wrong with that because it is Halloween. People allays dress up however they want and there is nothing wrong. For example my 3 year old sister does not want to be a princess, instead she wants to be a pig for Halloween.Me and mom at first did not understand where did she get that from and i kept on asking her Gabby don't u want to be a princess? And all she said was no and I want to be a pig. So my mom went to the store and got her pig costume. But just by reading this article i understood that there is no reason to push all these things that are labeled as "gilrly" and for "boys". Especially at the young age kids should be allowed to play with what they want. Like my sister again she has race cars and plays with cars sometimes. I do not see anything wrong with that. However society has painted this huge picture the way girls should act and the way boys should act that in the end it might hurt some people.

I agree that lots of harm can come from rigid stereotypes of how boys and girls are supposed to act. I hope your sister keeps on playing with whatever toys she wants, and has a great time with her pig costume.
