16. it's definietely overdone

The gender difinitions are potentially harmful when children don't fit the expectations, for example, boys aren't supposed to like girls' and girls aren't supposed to like boys' toys. When they get a little older, girls and boys have separate topics they are supposed to be interested in, or be seen as weird. Girls are not encouraged to collect insects, even if they might be interested. Boys are not encouraged to learn how to sew, even if they might be interested.
Little boys still hate pink. Not that much has changed.
