[quote=Anonymous]Social pressure and conservative gender norms. They're still so pervasive, even in liberal areas. I try to encourage my kids to do what they like and tell them there aren't activities "for boys" or "for girls," but the social pressure is still there for them. The other kids will say things like "Ballet is for girls." Or they'll get to the class and be the only boy there. [/quote]
