starting early with gender stereotypes



Yesterday I asked my daughter Jocelyn (28 months old) why she didn't
eat the crust on her pizza and she said she didn't like it, but Perry
(her twin brother) ate his "because he's a boy".  It's true that Perry
likes the crust and Jocelyn doesn't, but where did she get the idea
that it's because he's a boy?  I asked her, but unsurprisingly she
was not able to explain.
