      We've taught him that it's a colour for anyone, but I know that group mentality that's hard to shun off.

        I told him he should tell those boys that: they're stupid and narrow minded. Not the best advice, partly as they're unlikely to understand

            It's pretty fucked up how deep and early patriarchy runs in our world. Even our 3yr old sees it.
