Should Gender Stereotypes be challenged?

[ErGingerbreadMandude]

But yeh I am against challenging gender stereotypes just for the sake of it, I don't think a woman should try and play football to challenge gender stereotypes, she should do it because she enjoys the sport/shes good at the sport.

Do what you enjoy. Don't do something just for the sake of challenging a stereotype.
Are you a man that is a stereotypical male? Good on you!
Are you a female that is a stereotypical female? Good on you too!
No one should force you to be to not be who you are.

Growing children should be given freedom to be who they are. Don't social engineer boys to be more like girls or girls to be more like boys. Let them choose their own paths. Let them find their own truth in life. Let them be who they are, let them keep discovering themselves as they progress through life.
