‘I believe that we should let children be free to play with whatever they want because I don’t want to have given him a childhood that I wanted to impose. That’s because my son is not me’ she told the interviewer.

Danita explains how she never forced her son to go for the boys’ or girls’ sections in a toy store and that he always gravitates towards dolls, leaving gifted trucks and stereotypically boy’s toys gifted to him untouched.

‘I also shouldn’t have to feel guilty about this because I’m not forcing any stereotypes onto him. If this is a phase, I’ll support him through it. If not, I’ll have given him a childhood that he always wanted.’

She expressed how she finds the division of boys vs girl toys ridiculous, saying that her husband drives the push-chair and a girl will eventually learn how to drive a car, making these stereotypes on toys ridiculous.
