Academic outfits vs gendered jobs

🪞🕯️Women weren’t even allowed to have their own bank account without a male co-signer until the 70’s, so it’s not so far-fetched to think that perhaps gendered ideas of jobs STILL tie in with historical/traditional fashion. But maybe it’s not that, it could just be that women in academia are powerhouses of historical fashion sense. What do you think?

The image displays text about a meta-analysis finding parents don't treat boys and girls very differently, overlaid on a blurry photo of a child looking at purple flowers.
parenting diff genders may mean…
Gendered parenting doesn't just shape childhood. It can shape identity, relationships, and success for a lifetime. That’s why many parents today are choosing to raise their kids with values instead of gender roles. Raising boys and girls “the same” doesn’t mean ignoring their individuality.
