Gender education in America begins with the toilet.

In the United States, parents attach great importance to the gender differences of young children. Young mothers will carefully choose male and female products for their children. The baby boys in their hands have put on formal men's briefs, although they are still wrapped in diapers.

In many child care institutions, children's toilets are also divided into men and women. The facilities in the toilet are completely designed according to the regular men's and women's toilets, but the proportion is reduced. On the first day of children's arrival in the garden, knowing the toilet is the first lesson. The teacher will remind the children not to go wrong in the toilet.

Teaching boys to be manly and girls to be more careful has become an established concept of parenting in American parents' minds.
