The messages being sent are as follows:
Hey boys, be creative. Build things. One day you might be an architect.
Hey girls, be pretty. Dress up in shoes that warp the shape of your feet and back. One day you might be pretty enough.
As a woman looking at raising children in the near-ish future, I've become very aware of the messages being sent to my future girls. Here's a message for girls everywhere: You deserve the f*ing Legos! You are capable. You are powerful. You are worthy of love. You can play with as many Barbies as you would like to, but just know that you don't need to wear heels or a dress to be beautiful. You were born beautiful. You were born with as much potential as anyone else. You are rad!
PS For the boys out there: All of the above applies to you too. :-)
¡Viva la Legos for ladies revolution!
