Hidden Messages in Innocent Child Games

By Nicoleao @momfever

In a local thrift shop I found an old fashioned card game. I fell in love with the pretty picures and the price. It only cost $1!

But as I was admiring the drawings something struck me: the images were very stereotypical about what women and men should do!

The woman serves, the man eats.

The woman does the cleaning, the man DIY’s.

Girls play with dolls, boy are rowdy and wild.

Boys become a doctor, girls become a nurse.

I still love the pictues, but it did make me stop and think!

Are your children’s toys sending your child steretypical messages?
