Why #StillABoy says yes to fairy wings
Enough of the boy/girl labels, please
When mum Martine Zoer got criticised for her clothing range, Quirkie Kids - which makes pink t-shirts for girls and boys - she responded by setting up the social media campaign: #StillABoy.
The hashtag encourages mums to share photos of their little boys doing things that break the gender stereotypes - like wearing fairy wings, playing with dolls and nurturing pets and siblings.
Those who had a go at her clothing range said it was "robbing kids of their gender" - but Martine hopes in contrast #StillABoy "becomes a celebration of boyhood and gets people talking about what it means to be a boy".
