The term "gender" should not limit any child, male or female, to read only about one specific gender. It actually helps a person to know about different ways of life, cultures, and helps expand the mind freely if there is no restrictions. It's sad, nowadays society has so much influence over what children should and should now be able to read. On the contrary, we should be helping children feel comfortable with who they are and allow them to choose their own desires and styles of books so that they can feel secure so that they can adapt to their own surroundings as they experience new things. We should not deprive anybody in fact to only read certain types of topics. We don't know what the future holds we can only prepare our children to the best way by communication, reading, and through expression. You SHOULD allow the mind to flow by having a versatile outlook on what the world provides. Basically, it's best to have everyone's best interest at heart instead of having a narrow-minded aspect.




Who is to say that males can't have an opinion on love and who is to say that a female can't have her own approach to fixing a car. Some of our best historical writers like the great "William Shakespeare", is known for all his beautifully set love poems, teachings, and is now famous for one of his best works "Romeo and Juliet" which is now used in the English Arts. Let us not forget Danica Patrick, one of the best race-car drivers in society right now, she has great knowledge in cars just as good as any male would, maybe even better. What I'm really trying to get at is that we should never let our children have this mind set that they can't reach for their goals just because society has a biased opinion on it. If they want to become the next famous writer or nascar driver let them be intrigued by THEIR own discoveries and theories. Even if it doesn't pan out to what they expected, at least they were able to learn and grow from their experience. There is no harm in trying it will only benefit them it will only lead them to the life they truly want to live in the end. Like they say, "If at first you don't succeed, you must try again".

They say that gender roles often shape the way a male or female expresses their emotions but that is because of how we limited their readings when they were growing up. It's never to late to change the way we think, there are always chances to start new, grow, and take every bit of experience into effect. By striving for equality we are ensuring that this world offers anything we set our hearts and minds to. That we should never discriminate against gender because we are no better than anyone else than ourselves. Times are changing, no longer are only males superior, women are just as equal. So with that said, have an open heart and mind to the things our children want to read. The best thing is to allow them to do things they LOVE so that one day they can look back and remember all the different lessons, trials, and experiences they have been able to grasp throughout their lifetime.
