As a parent I *hate* that girls shorts are so freaking short. Not just teenagers, not just tweens, it starts as soon as they have shorts available. Toddler shorts - boys: pretty close to the knee, girls: barely past their crotch. Send them to daycare with shorts and a t-shirt or a long dressy shirt - "Is [your child] wearing pants?!" "...No, I'm sending her in in just a t-shirt." It slowly becomes a hunt to find the gender neutral patterns and colors of boys shorts for them.
