Honest question, where do you think your daughter learned this expectation from? Medias/advertising, other childs' parents...?

How would one go about preventing this from happenning without segregating the child?

You prevent it from putting an item on your agenda to tell your daughter about cool women with different awesome careers.

You the parent have to go out of your way to make a list of women astronauts, scientists, stateswomen, authors, captains, professors-- everything-- so your daughter grows up in a world women can do anything.
