I think this is absolutely the way to go for future generations (think genderless preschools/kindergartens) but I really don't think we can just flip a switch and undo millennia of gendered expectations. Although I really do appreciate the folks that try.

I think it's extreme to say gender is inherently bad.

Totally. Gender can be pretty neat when you're not being oppressed by it and have the freedom to pursue your own identity

How you gonna sell makeup and purses and shit unless they think they are not pretty? Gotta get them to sexualize themselves then get them to doubt their inherent beauty so they buy your products.

How you gonna sell guns and trucks and shit unless they think they are not manly.
