“not every woman is sitting in a tower, twirling her hair and waiting to be saved.”	Every woman is different.	The stereotypes placed upon  women in today’s society are blanket statements and don’t apply to everyone.	The author uses the common idea that every girl wants to be princesses to clarify that some women aren’t as “feminine” as others. It’s an all too common misconception that women care about their hair and makeup while men care about sports and cars. The author emphasises how people are people, and their interests do not correlate with their gender.	Stereotypes inhabit the lives of everyone more than realized. If you see a man with ragged clothes on the street, you think he’s homeless. The link between old clothes and poverty is a stereotype. Gender roles is all about them; the misconceptions of one gender versus another, the idea that girls can only be a certain way and boys another. The author of the article is trying to explain that stereotypes don’t work for everyone. Some people surpass their implied roles.
“Women can like make-up and make believe, but we also can make the world a better place.”	Women can be  both predictable and unpredictable.	Just because women exceed and do not want to be confined to the limitations of a stereotype does not mean they couldn’t fit into it.	The author wants it to be known that there is not a harsh line between women and stereotypes. Some women enjoy typical feminine doings but they may also participate in things linked more with men.	The author highlights the amount of ignorance people have towards gender roles. Most parents don’t even know they’re enforcing them. It’s common that a little girl is considered a princess and a little boy is a superhero or soldier, even though they’re interchangeable. People aren’t even aware of the mindsets they are putting into their children. They’re oblivious to the inner consequences gender roles can have on a child’s self esteem, especially if what they are interested in isn’t typical.
