Jessica Chastainmade a disappointing discovery while shopping for children’s clothing for her daughter on Friday afternoon.
In the girls’ section, Chastain revealed she saw pink outfits adorned with crowns, kittens and flowers.
However, in the boys’ section, Chastain saw clothes that encouraged boys to be adventurous and ambitious.
Chastain then shared a photo of the onesies she purchased from both sections.

Girls’ section.
In the first shot, Chastain showed pink onesies with ruffles. In the second, she showed boy onesies that read, “Future Scientist,” “Future Inventor” and “Future Astronaut.”
“So this is just something I guess to challenge ourselves, challenge me and say what have I grown accustomed to in our media, in our clothing, in our music,” Chastain said in the clip.
“Do these stereotypes actually push girls forward?”
Chastain has long been an avid supporter of women’s rights and social pay equality.

“What I’m excited about is that this will focus on empowering women, and shine a light on inequality in all industries,” says Chastain.
