cookies

Selling girl scout cookies doesnt necessarily teach the young girls a gender specific role that they are expected to fill. Unless you attribute selling cookies to cooking in some twisted connection. What it teaches them is the capitalist idea that working for something is the best way to go about obtaining it. Rather this isnt the best or most efficient way. The best way is to find little nitches where one can get what one needs. This isnt to say that some things need to be worked for. America figures the younger you teach em the more ingrained it is into their heads and the less likely they are to fight against the system.
