The+Moon+Lady

Ying-Ying's mother tells her that "a boy can run and chase dragonflies, because that is his nature. But a girl should stand still.."

Why should a girl stand still and not chase after her desires? What does this say about gender roles? How do you feel about this? Also, what does Ying-Ying's wish for the Moon Lady say about her?
