Approximately 6 billion emojis are sent everyday, according to Swyft Media, and girls from the age of 10-19 are responsible for more than 1 billion of them.

“I am very athletic, and I believe there should be more emojis showing athletic girls. These emojis are stereotypical of what society thinks of girls and boys,” freshman Pamela Cruz said. “In my opinion, if there is a guy emoji doing a certain activity, there should be an emoji of a girl doing that same activity too, and vice versa.”

Girls from the age of 16 to 24 believe that female emojis are stereotypical, and 50 percent said they represent a limited range of female interests, according to a national survey of more than 1,000 females sponsored by Always. Girls 16 to 24 would like to see more female emojis such as female athletes and female police officers, 75 percent the survey found.
