Products That Are Pointlessly Gendered

The ‘Ol Doctor Versus Nurse Debate

Gendered12.jpg

Here is another borderline offensive gendered product – children’s scrub costumes. Notice that the pink is an RN costume and it’s targeted to girls. The green scrubs are for an MD and marketed to boys. This perpetuates the stereotype that nursing is a female occupation will being a doctor is something only men could accomplish. This is obviously something that is not true yet all too often we see it throughout various forms of media. All kids should know they can be whatever they want to be and that includes male nurses and female doctors!
