Sexism
She was taught to wear pink
He was taught to wear blue
She was taught to cross her legs
He was taught to pull up his pants
She was taught to wear a skirt
He was taught to wear trousers
She was taught to ask him out
He was taught to ask her in
She was taught to carry a bag
He was taught to be bag free
She was taught to stay at home
He was taught to leave home
She was taught to play with dolls
He was taught to play with balls
