Are you a girl

You want to play with kitchen set! Are you a girl. 

Why are you crying ? Are you a girl!

You make roti? Are you a girl!

Such statements are commonly made, when a boy wants to play with any such toy or does any thing which is tagged as girl's stuff.

Why are we still living under these preconceived gender biases? 

My son plays with kitchen set, I buy for him.He helps me in kitchen, folds his clothes and much more.

There is no particular color, game, toy or any stuff assosiated with any gender at my home.

Let the kids be kids and not a boy or a girl. Let them explore and make their choices.

They are children and know only to play, don't put them under your gender lens.
