I Was Really Lucky That I Had

I Met The Former President Of Iceland [jóhanna Sigurðardóttir] Once. I Think She Was President For, Like, 16 Years Or Something. She Said She Used To Get Letters From Little Boys Saying, "madam President, Do You Think It Will Ever Be Possible For A Boy To Be President?" Just Like We Assume That Girls Can't Be Politicians, They Were Assuming Boys Can't. That's What They Thought. It's So Crazy.

The Most Important Thing Is To Change What Children See From The Beginning. To Not Create A Problem We Have To Fix Later.

The Fictitious Worlds Created For Kids Are Nearly Bereft Of Female Presence. It's Sending A Very Clear Message From The Beginning That Women And Girls Do Not Have Half Of The Adventures, That They're Not As Important. We're Teaching Kids That Girls And Women Don't Take Up Half The Space In The World.

The Whole Point Of Why I'm Doing This Is To Show All Kids, Boys And Girls, That Women Take Up Half The Space And Do Half Of The Interesting Things In The World And Have Half Of The Dreams And Ambitions. Our Slogan Is, "if They See It, They Can Be It."

We Are In Effect Enculturating Kids From The Very Beginning To See Women And Girls As Not Taking Up Half Of The Space.
