Gender Roles: Even More Spin-Off

[PanzerJaeger]

Except they did, the ones we've been debating for most of this thread...

Not in the well-adjustedness of the children, which is the definition you questioned. You keep insinuating that the children will be dysfunctional, but the research runs contrary to that opinion.

Well if they make the play more gender neutral the kids will act more gender neutral, contrary to the nature biology gave them. Parents can't just be neutral and not influence their kids.

Apparently they can, at least in the activities the children are encouraged to engage in.

Is it better to push a boy into a sport that he may or may not enjoy or let him gravitate towards the activities that truly interest him? I don't know, but the research indicates that it does not effect the mental health, self esteem, and social adjustedness of the child either way.
