A video of President Barack Obama at a Toys for Tots event in Washington, D.C., earlier this month is attracting attention after he used the occasion to make a point about gender stereotypes.

In the video, Obama is seen placing traditionally-male toys in the girls’ boxes as he helped sort items for the program, telling the crowd, “I’m just trying to break down these gender stereotypes.”

“Girls play t-ball too,” Obama said as he placed a t-ball set in one of the boxes.
