My 3-year-old grandniece just celebrated her third birthday with a princess everything. I had already been saying that this prince and princess world of the children breeds narcissists.
Another example: a coworker complains his preschooler threw a fit in a store demanding designer clothes ONLY.

Look in the toy stores. Everything is female-dominated and PINK. Building toys and science toys ALL feature girls on the packages. Little boys’ aisle? Monsters and trucks.

I went to a large State U, up north, and got a BS in Engineering. Still get stuff in the mail from them, from time to time.

Anyhoo, if you were to read the literature and not know a thing about it, you'd think that the Engineering School was populated solely by young, attractive females along with a much smaller number of properly diverse, athletic, and grinning males.

Truly, the opposite is the case. Mostly, it's pasty white nerds with thick glasses - both male and female. More women than when I was there, but it's still about 9-1. We didn't get out much, especially during Freshman weedout courses (shudder), and junior year in general (I've still no idea how I passed a couple of classes).

So much for truth in advertising. :-)
