I believe it's because they look up to their parents so much they want to be like them.
I feel as though the SJW community that pressure children into moving away from these "gendered roles" is harming them.
If you think about it, gendered roles are strange. Why should people be sorted by their reproductive organs? Everything in society is based around gender.

I never wanted children when i was a kid, even though i was always told that i should. I didn't even know what an SJW was at the time.
People should be "sorted" by reproductive organs because males and females are biologically different, in their physical structure (skeletons, organs, etc.) to their chemical balances.
Medicines that are full of testosterone that might be ok for women might kill a man. It's really important to distinguish this sort of thing
Yea, i understand biologically, but why certain roles? What about how some women are judged for being 'too masculine' or men for being 'too feminine', and their worth being decided on how well they fit within the confines of their own gender?
I agree that certain roles shouldn't be labelled as "men/ women careers" but that doesn't mean you should force a child away from a career/future they view as a goal
It’s not about telling children they shouldn’t want to grow up to be in a traditionally male/female role. It’s about telling children they can grow up to be whatever role they fit into best. For children that fit into the stereotypical roles, there’s no dissonance either way. Children that don’t fit into the stereotypical roles get the relief of not feeling wrong/inadequate.
The real problem is when we ( the adults) project onto the children. Maybe we want our kid to be super gender neutral but the girl only wants to wear pink and play with dolls. Well, get out of the way and let her. But what if the boy only wants to wear pink and play dolls? Do we force our ideas of what a boy “should” be on him? And to what end end? Why shouldn’t he play with dolls if that’s what he likes?
Sure, and there are people who beat their children, for their own good–to make them behave. And people who sexually abuse their children to show them what love is really like. So yeah, name your kid something abusive because gender blah blah blah.
There are always people who are going to abuse their children in the name of rearing them right, but those people don’t represent the majority.
If only that were true.
The point I’m making is that just because some people beat their children doesn’t mean that every parent who disciplines their child should be arrested. At least I think that’s the general consensus. And just because some jerk names their kid vagina doesn’t mean that every parent that encourages children to pursue activities based on interest and aptitude (rather than gender) is harming their kids.
There are plenty of people that name their kids names that traditionally match their gender and still don’t force them into traditional roles. That doesn’t mean they force them into opposite roles. Just that they aren’t forced into roles.

Also not forcing your kids/ pets to have the same ideals as you. Only inform.
