    all genders are equal and should be treated as such

    But we only sell and you will only find products for girls and about how girls are great. No other genders.

      The vast majority of what we already teach in society is about white men. Someone offers stories that are about something other than white men because they see that women are under represented in teaching, not because they believe that only successful women should be included in teaching. You’re intentionally obfuscating the point…

        Yeah, because two wrongs make a right. Instead of, “Here are some balanced teaching materials that contain a diversity of races and genders and cultures.”, what we need is to repeat past mistakes, only backwards and not based on data or with any metric based goal in sight, but our perceptions of, “vast majorities”.

        I quoted the person and described their product accurately. It’s in the article. That’s not obfuscation.
