Of course, that's the way it should be, but I'm afraid we have a ways to go with our society. Back when my daughter was around 3 or 4 she came home from daycare and told me "Blue is a boy's color and red is a girl's color". I tried to explain that they are just colors and that both boys and girls were allowed to like and use either one. I'm sure this talk was completely lost on her given her age. What I'm trying to illustrate is that this sort of thinking is drilled into us early as a product of our binary gender view. Those of us who don't want to be defined by others are stuck in the middle fighting a tough fight.
