Society and culture have long dictated fashion. Attaching clothing to gender roles, however, can limit self-expression. In this episode, we’re exploring the history of clothes, how clothing has differed among genders/s*xes throughout human history, and how gendering clothing can impact our children’s development. 

Below, are some of the questions that spark much of the conversation around this episode:

* How have historical shifts in the perception of makeup, clothing, and nail polish shaped current gender norms? 

* How do different cultures approach gender norms related to makeup, clothing, and nail polish? 

* How can parents encourage their children to explore these areas without adhering to traditional gender expectations?

* How do societal expectations around makeup, clothing, and nail polish impact the mental health and self-esteem of individuals, particularly those who do not conform to traditional gender norms?
