[quote=Anonymous]When my son was about 2 years old, my husband's parents came to visit. My MIL had gone to the library sale and brought a HUGE bag of books for my son. Easily 75% truck/plane/rail and misc. vehicle books. Great present. He loved them. Second day of their visit, my FIL, out of the blue says to me: "Why do you think he likes trucks and cars so much? Do you think this is just an innate trait of boys?" Um, sez I, well, not really. You just gave him a giant book of car stuff. Short answer--even if we don't notice that we are socializing our children into gender norms, we probably still are doing it anyway.[/quote]
