Film Blog- The Mask You Live In

Growing up there was always these unwritten rules in our society that associated the color pink with girls and blue with boys. Usually when you think of a child playing with a doll you would imagine a girl holding it. Same idea with toy trucks and boys. My earliest memory of having this so-called "rule" of separating items by gender was probably when I was 4 years old and our family friend Kurt was 5. Kurt used to love wearing my dress up clothes and putting on our mom's makeup. Me, being a little girl saw no issues with this because I had someone to play with! That was until our older brothers would tease him and think Kurt was weird because he wasn't outside riding on skateboards with the other boys. Thankfully Kurt stuck to what he wanted to do and was always there to play dress up with me!
