female kids showing women
We're showing kids a world that's very scantly populated with women and female characters.
boys far kids men sharing watch
It's important for what kids watch that, as far as possible, they see the real world reflected, to see men and women, boys and girls, sharing the space.
characters female half kids showing taking women
We're showing kids a world that is very scantily populated with women and female characters. They should see female characters taking up half the planet, which we do.
moving kids watches
Once I fix what kids watch, I'll be moving on to everything else.
kids space world
I was tall from minute one. Always the tallest kid by a large margin. And my fantasy was to take up less space in the world.
girl kids thinking
My theory of everything is that we are training kids to have gender bias against girls, therefore when you are an adult, you don't see it. We think it's normal.
character kids female
Because I had some roles that resonated with women, I immediately noticed that there were far more male characters than female characters in what we're showing little kids in the 21st century, which was stunning to me. But I couldn't find anybody else who noticed.
kids car parent
The only movies I saw till I was 17 were made by Disney. My parents had this thing. Disney was like, you know, "Ford is a good car. Disney makes good movies that are good for kids and safe."
kids school class
My thing in high school was being the tallest kid in class. Always. I was always the tallest kid in class.
mean kids parenting
~There are moments when I feel like I have a looong road ahead of me, with college and dating and driving and all of that. But then I realize it just means that I have so much time left to enjoy my kids. And it really does go by so quickly.~
girl kids space
We are in effect enculturating kids from the very beginning to see women and girls as not taking up half of the space.
kids needs entertainment
Kids need to see entertainment where females are valued as much as males.
question

When I saw archery, which I had never really looked at before, I wondered if it needed some of the same skills as pistol shooting.
