versus
In class today, we viewed a commercial for a playhouse specifically made for girls. It contained a kitchen and additional add-ons like laundry machines and a vacuum. In the background, there was a little girls singing a song about how they love to clean and cook. We were told to make up with a gender neutral version of this girls play kitchen/home. Our idea of an ad for this commercial went a little something like this.
It starts with kids running in the backyard, all of them run to the Dream Home. (We wanted to make the name of the house more gender neutral).
Both boys and girls sing about how they like to play pretend in their toy home. Instead of girls singing about how much they love chores. We wanted to extenuate how they help each other rather than having the girls do all the housework. The lyrics might go a little something like this -"We like to work together. We both play a part. We like to work together. Let's start start start!"
Instead of having pinks and pastel colors, we decided the colors can be geared towards both genders and we'll make it more of just a kitchen where cooking is the main objective, rather than doing chores.
The commercial ends with both the boys and girls cleaning up their mess, in harmony!
