My reflexion about Stereotypes in Chile ✨🌌

                                                

Stereotypes are thoughts so normalized that we have that sometimes we do not realize that they exist. In Chiloé that is where I live there are a very traditionalist and sexist culture where stereotypes are very present, fortunately, my family never forced me to do anything I did not want within this allowed me to play with cars instead of dolls, dressing in the colors and clothes I want, anyway, but not many of my friends were allowed to do this, as they dressed them with "colors for girls" and my friends too. Not only is it seen in young children, but also in adults where you are forced or cooked with your mom at family gatherings while men are sitting watching TV or you should stay at home without doing certain activities because they are cataloged "for men". However, with the different movements that have been getting more and more, we have been able to realize how entrenched we have this culture of stereotypes and sexist (because they go hand in hand in my opinion) that allow us to reflect and rethink as a society or individually as a person, in turn allowing us not to fall into the actions that perhaps by ignorance or tradition we did and teaching the new generations that do not define you what you do, you want or choose, but as you really are as a person and what you give to others.
