Claire Miller tries to make the public aware of gender differences and formulations such as toys and costumes for girls and boys. Gender roles in children’s minds should be reformulated. She tries to be sentimental, pointing out that gender war begins long before we are born. Claire began by comparing the results of searching the Halloween costumes on the website, where the boys were looking for lab coats and goggles, while the girls were looking for nurses’ costumes. Boys’ costumes and toys are more often associated with destruction and action, while those for girls are more passive and gentler. Toys and gender-neutral clothing are rare. A study conducted in 2012 on the Disney store website showed that toys for girls were mainly care and beauty, while toys for boys were related to action, construction and had bold colors, mostly blue. A study of Halloween costumes showed that less than 10% were gender neutral. According to the analysis made by the professor of sociology and legal study, Adie Nelson, boys ‘suits were more likely to reflect jobs, while girls’ clothing reflected appearance or relationships.
