Description
The store clerk suggests something different to the man who picked up the bright yellow nail polish, but the man's response is enough to embarrass the clerk.
-"I'm going to polish my nails."
This book is about a man's day. The hero is a baseball player, but he loves to cook in a tiny floral apron, works out in a pink towel wrapped around his neck while watching soap operas at the gym, wears tight white sweatpants and long red socks, and painstakingly paints the yellow nail polish he bought on his nails. Perhaps many people are puzzled by the man's behavior, but if you replace the main character with a woman, it seems that all things are taken for granted.
The awkward and unfamiliar stares people give to the man in the story are "stereotypes" caused by the society. It is said that these gender stereotypes begin in infancy and continue to have a significant impact on children's lives, which means that the adults who influence them must also be free of gender stereotypes or prejudices. This book aims to inspire readers of all ages that gender is not a dividing line, prejudice is!
