societies grew more developed, social classes began to form. Beware that the development of civilization doesn't necessarily mean that humans have evolved into a more developed thinking system.
I believe that spreading awareness for glaring injustices in today's world will lead us to a more knowledgeable and tolerant tomorrow. By breaking down gender role expectations, we can learn to see gender not as an identifier, but simply as a physical trait.
This immersion should start young, in my opinion. When I was born, my parents did not know whether I was going to be a girl or a boy, so I ended up playing with kitchen sets, dolls and baking sets as well as Legos, helicopters and cars. I never felt the pressure to have to like Disney princesses or felt the embarrassment for loving Hot Wheels.
What I feel Watson was really trying to say (without offending or blaming anyone) is that neither gender should feel any sort of obligation to conform to stereotypes, and those who do fall under the stereotypes shouldn’t be discriminated for it. In conclusion, both men and women should aspire to be whatever he or she wants to be, and no one should not be bound to expectations based on gender.
