I choice to take this picture because I wanted to show people that at early ages children's parents show their kids how to dress and what a real lady should wear. In the picture I put the sneaker in the photo, also the basketball on the bed. So you could see what she might be really interested in. However, in the photo she has all of these pink teddy bears and kitty teddies, but there is also one teddy bear with a jersey on and holding a basketball. Also in the picture the little girl is not paying attention to the dress that her mother or father laid out for her, but only looking at the jersey that she would like to put on. I put the dress in the photo because it symbolizes that women and the jersey symbolizes feminism. This picture makes a statement that all girls don't like "Girly" things, such as dresses as you can see.

This picture is a great example of how young girls are expected to be girly and pretty all the time. Their parents often decorate little girls rooms like the room shown here with teddy bears and girly things. However, some girls don't identify with traditional girly things such as playing with dolls and would much rather play sports and wear sporty casual clothes than a dress.
This picture shows that from an early stage girls are able to identify which kinds of clothing or toys are boys and which ones are for girls
There was a very good point made in the photo and i agree that girls are supposed to be "girly" and wear what there parents would like them to. But everyone likes to do different things and this little girl is a good example by liking basketball and wanting to wear a jersey. She wants to be herself and not what other people what her to be.
When parents dress girls in dresses and skirts girls automatically think that they have to and sometimes if they don't they could get punished. I know that when I was younger I wouldn't be able to do anything unless I wore whatever my parents picked out. Now a days I wear jeans and a t-shirt almost every day. Clothing should be an expression of who you are and not what you should be.
This is a great picture of what young children have to go through daily. They have to pick things that are going to identify themselves as their on individual self. I know my sister plays basketball and identify with boys all the time playing with them. But she is also very much a woman, when not on the court. I don't think that one thing makes up the person that you are.
this is a good picture because it does represent feminism at a young age. But this is good - this shows that girls are starting to identify themeslves as who they really are and what they want to do in life.
This picture is a perfect example of how we are expected to act and dress in our society. Everyone has to fit into some sort of norm or they will not be considered normal. This little girl does not want to wear that “girly” outfit that she is supposed to wear but she is expected to dress like a young lady. For example, if a woman wears pants every single day there are going to be people that judge her and think that she might not be feminine or she could be lesbian. And if a man goes outside wearing a skirt he gets laughed at; there are certain things that are just expected in this society.
I really like this photo and how on one side it shows the sneakers with the jersey and on the other side is the dress with stuffed animals. Many parents would automatically expect their daughter(s) to choose to wear a dress and play with stuffed animals or dolls. But that is not always the case. That is why this is a great example because not all girls necessarily want to wear/play with traditional famine things. Children should be able to decide for themselves, enabling them to become their own person.
this picture shows how we shape children to know the difference between "boy's things" and "girl's things". Even at such a young age this girl is able to distinguish the difference
I really enjoy this picture. This picture is a great example of what every little girl wants to do when they are little, and how they want to be when they get older. Being "girly" is a thing that all moms want for their little girls.
