A Small Rant:
A small rant:
Today I witnessed a little boy (maybe 7-9 years old) inform a girl he was playing tag with that girls have cooties, so he was going to have to wash his hands later. The poor girl (who was about the same age) just looked so confused. He seemed like a sweet kid, and you could argue that telling a girl she ‘has cooties’ is harmless, but think about it: he was telling her that there was something inherently wrong or bad about her simply because she was a girl. The fact that he even said that means he heard it somewhere else, probably from someone older or smarter than him. Sure, it was harmless in itself, but if he grows up with these ingrained foundational beliefs that girls and women are different or lesser or bad, it’ll build up to really affect him and the relationships he’s able to forge (not only related or limited to romantic relationships) later on life. This is how misogynists happen. Teach your kids.
