lynnsanity214: friendlyangryfeminist: dearkidsshows: feministdisney: farhaha: Found these little gems at the front of Pittsburgh’s Barnes & Noble’s children’s section. Here’s the first page of each. I think I speak for all women when I say we are THRILLED that society is finally starting to take floristry seriously! SUBTLE yet effective at enforcing the gender binary not related to kids shows, but still important. While both are totally valid things to be interested in (hey, I can’t arrange a damn flowery thing!) (or invent a robot) can people stop wondering why more girls don’t pursue science? They’re not told they can.  Also looking at the covers, there’s ONE human woman (and a mermaid) on the girls’ book. There are four human men on the boy’s cover.  Limited options, ladies.  what the fuck
