I think that children are exposed to stereotypes from a young age, be it through the stories we tell them or the activities we encourage them to take part in. It goes back to day care, before they are even old enough for school. One corner is set up for girls and another is set up for boys. It starts in childhood. Activities should be diversified, and all distinctions between boys and girls should be eliminated.
