When boys don’t read stories with strong, smart, or otherwise incredible women, it seeps into their brains that these women don’t exist. When they are not taught that they can look up to women, they don’t. This is poisonous to society.

Fiction: Halfway to China
“Hey, Joey.”
“Hey, Tommy.”
“What’cha doin’?”
“Runnin’ away.”
Tommy took in the picture for a minute. There was simply no evidence to support Joey’s statement.
“How are you runnin’ away by diggin’ a hole in your back yard?”
“I’m goin’ to China.”
“Oh.” That made better sense.
