If you want to know why gender stereotypes exist, take a good look at the difference between Girl’s Life and Boy’s Life Magazines. While Boy’s Life pushes boys to get outside and explore nature, Girl’s Life tells girls they should be worrying about fashion. While Boy’s Life offers stories of Scouts they can model themselves after, Girl’s Life asks if Facebook is ruining their love life. And, my personal favorite, while Boy’s Life gives it’s readers jokes so they can be the center of attention Girl’s Life posits, “Do You Know When to Shut Up?”

This is the message we’re giving our children.

this is why we need feminism

Is this from the modern edition? Because i remember being in my psychiatrist’s office back in the day ( IE: probably late 90’s, early 2000’s) and Girl’s Life was focused then on like, outdoor activities that are fun funky (and not just braiding hair outside okay i mean like going for hikes and camping) and things like “How to Stick Up For Yourself”. 

Such a marked contrast, i wonder what changed in those few years? 

The cover of Girl’s Life literally says “Quiz: Do you know when to shut up?”
If that’s not sexist then I have no idea what is.

wut, well I’ll be damned
