When I go to the child's corner of the bookstore, I can see "for boys" based on blue and "for girls" based on pink. The writer with a son picked up a book written for a boy without feeling anything, but the story posted in it has no sense of incongruity even if the main character is a girl, and not only boys but girls Everything is interesting, even if you read it.
However, the princes' system for girls has a feeling of incompatibility when trying to make a hero a boy. For example, What if you make Cinderella is a man?
Brothers who were jealous - handsome jokes are serious bullies. The grandfather of the wizard came to the place where you can not participate in the ball and it is meshing Mesmer and will transform cinderella-fellow into a prince magically. And with just the face deviation value, cinderella-fellow marries the princess. It was sunny and went to a shrine.
"I do not think I want to let my son talk about such a story, so why should I ask my daughter ?"

Of course, the book for girls is not just such things. However, in the present era when more women's activities and social advancement are required, giving girls only the books that promote the dependence desire that women are potentially hiding since childhood, Cinderella syndrome "like something to keep saying.
After all, keeping fairy tales in fairy tales, in addition to having unlimited possibilities for children regardless of gender and women, we need to teach pleasure to realize our dreams and goals on our own with specific examples Is it not?
