[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Everyone is a progressive until their son wants to wear a princess dress to daycare. [/quote] This. The conventional wisdom seems to be to push girls into sports and away from girly things on the thinking that this is progressive. But you don't see anyone pushing boys into anything perceived as girly. It's absurd. We don't have to put the thumb on the scale in either direction. We could just let our kids be whatever they are, whether that lines up with biology or not. There is a fair amount of scientific support for the fact that boys tend to be attracted to typically boy things (trucks, balls) and girl are attracted to typically girl things -- all before nurture has had its say. That's neither right nor wrong. Let the girls wear their tiaras or kick their soccer balls (or both!) as they prefer. And let the boys do the same![/quote]
