even young girls are starting to be affected by the expectation put on women to be mothers

I recently saw a channel on YouTube of a girl who says she is 10 years old, already making videos revolving around the theme of caring for children. she's making videos of "Emoji Cat" babies being cared for by a character made to represent herself. if this is what she truly likes to do, I will not shame her, in my opinion, it's good to be knowing at least how to care for a child in case you do want one. but at 10 YEARS OLD? ALREADY MAKING VIDEOS ABOUT MOTHERHOOD? some people may find this cute but in my opinion this is insane. and this isn't even a new thing either: young girls have always had toys with themes of caring for children, and in certain cases, actually giving birth like that one Barbie doll with a magnetic baby bump. personally, I think that these toys should not really be given to girls because you're pushing this whole expectation to be a mother and have children or else you're not worth anything that is put on women, onto them. it's sad that little girls like this "emoji cat" animator are already thinking about having kids at ten years old, which is far too young to be thinking about this kind of topic. this HAS got to be some form of misogyny.
so sorry if this is long, but I felt as though I needed to rant about this.
