It's exhausting teching gender equality

but most often it's changing gender in books - almost every book Liam has is about firefighters or other traditionally male roles - so I always change the workers to female - and his current favorite "Curious George Goes To The Hospital" - I find myself changing the "pretty young nurse Carol" to "young nurse Max" and Dr. Baker is a woman, of course, but at night when I'm tired and reading his books, it's challenging to always change the gender. I feel like I need to do it to counteract all of the other sexim in our society, but it will just be a drop in the bucket, but as Mickey said, the biggest example for Liam will be this year Chris staying home with the kids.
