QUOTE : When I was born, my parents were not aware that they were necessarily determining my behavior. They followed everyone around them. If I had been a girl, they would have painted my room pink instead of blue. Their attitude towards me would have been entirely different. All of this because they just wanted me to fit in. They wanted me to be 'normal.' They wanted to give me a 'normal' childhood. They did not know that they were paving the way for me to lead a 'normal' life in doing so. In a way, they were instructed by the society to do so.
