Re: [apmultiples] another rant from Valerie

["Nancy Whittier" <NWHITTIE email smith edu>]

OK, I'm just sifting through my packed in-box and had to comment on the
hair issue!  Eva has a TON of hair - we've cut her bangs 5 times now -
it's the hair of a 3-year-old.  Isaac is virtually bald.  We have had so
many people assume that she has hair BECAUSE she is a girl - like
there's a sex-linked gene for long hair in babies....

I think a list for this purpose would be a good idea.  I am continually
frustrated by people who attribute every difference between Perry and
Jocelyn to their sexes.  A recent example: one of our mother's helpers
said that it's not surprising that Jocelyn has longer hair than Perry
because girls' hair grows faster.  While I doubt that girls' hair
really does grow faster, it doesn't matter, because hers isn't longer!
Perry's hair is very slightly curlier and so it goes a tiny amount
less far down his back, but that's all.

But please, let's not start a new group on Yahoo!  Yahoo is terrible.
It has advertising (sometimes obnoxious anti-breast-feeding
advertising), no customer support, and archives that are hard to use.
In exchange for all that, you get a for free a service that basically
costs nothing to provide.

I would be happy to host a new group here at Tufts (where I already
host several groups on diverse topics), or someone else could do it.
