[quote=Anonymous]I wonder to what extent is some of the inequities tied to how we are "hard wired" as females and males? I have both male and female children - and have been awestruck by the differences between the sexes in terms of the choices and actions they take on at the early, early stages of life.

For example, my son is really bright but he's always needed reminders to put on his shoes - and then needs reminding to tie his shoes. On the other hand, my daughter (younger than son) unprompted will clean up after her meals, puts on her shoes and hand my son his hat and gloves.

Surely, the family is where most of these kinds of issues first play out - as OP stated. The influence of multiple forms of media that children are exposed to is a major factor in how inequality issues play out - but I think that influence is likely understated and underestimated.

I wrestled with the logic of a few posts up-thread that reasoned that the choices that women have/make greatly impacts where they end up. I think there is some merit to that argument, though I didn't particularly care for how it was pitched. [/quote]
