Studies have shown that putting babies/small children in dresses and skirts changes their behavior (babies/toddlers move less-and since people tend to put girl babies in dresses that means girl babies move less while their boy counterparts don’t get this treatment and move more). People also tend to put girls in nice clothes a lot at young ages and tell them not to get it dirty, essentially teaching girls that it’s more important to stay looking nice than it is to play or do anything else (when playing is the main way that children learn). 

“Everybody has a secret world inside of them. All of the people of the world, I mean everybody. No matter how dull and boring they are on the outside, inside them they’ve all got unimaginable, magnificent, wonderful, stupid, amazing worlds. Not just one world. Hundreds of them. Thousands maybe.”
