THE CHOICE

Who Says You Can’t Play With Dolls and Race Cars? ‘‘All of your life you have probably been told boys are supposed to like blue and girls are supposed to like pink. This is an idea that is forced on to kids since the time they were born by the colors of their pacifiers, blankets, and toys.

Toys are an important part of a kid’s life growing up and what toys they like and how they play with them; toy commercials can control other parts of their lives, such as who they are friends with, how popular they are, and how they think others act. A way these commercials do this to children are stereotypes- gender stereotypes.’’

FIRED

‘‘In 2006, I was working as an administrative assistant in New York when I found out I was pregnant. While I wasn’t making a ton of money, I had some savings, lived very frugally, and could support myself just fine. I didn’t think my pregnancy would be a problem in my workplace, so I told my company at the three month mark that I was expecting. Big mistake. I knew that a colleague of mine had recently taken medical leave for a personal illness, and my bosses frequently complained about having to make accommodations for their absence. Still, I never imagined that it was such a problem that they would find it more efficient to simply fire me when I was six months pregnant, with no regard for my health insurance needs, financial future or that of my unborn baby.

I told them that firing a pregnant woman was illegal and that I would take them to court. They in turn offered me a very small settlement in exchange for confidentiality. I refused, and they then turned my best friend against me, telling her that they would get her green card through if she convinced me not to take the company to court.’’

BANNED

‘‘A woman has died in a remote village in Nepal because of a tradition in which women are exiled from their homes and forced to live in huts during menstruation.

The 21-year-old is believed to have died from smoke inhalation from a fire she lit in the hut to keep warm in the freezing temperatures in the mountain village.

Many menstruating women are still forced to leave their homes and take shelter in unhygienic or insecure huts or cow sheds until their cycle ends.

While exiled in isolation, some women face bitter cold or attacks by wild animals. Unclean conditions can also cause infections.’’
