Men and women are equal. They have the same rights, the same duties, the same worth.
Boys and girls are definitely different though.
My little 6 year-old princess is into all things pink, she plays with dolls and dollhouses, she loves arts and crafts… The tiny thug, who’s 2, becomes starry-eyed when he sees a tractor, and almost faints with glee when he’s allowed to ride in one. Anything with wheels that makes noise is his favourite toy.
Have we helped the situation along? Not consciously. Does it matter? I don’t think so. If she develops an interest for machines, that will be her choice - if he chooses to be a WAHF, that will be his (and his significant other’s).
Kids, when given the choice, will choose what appeals to them. Little boys, when given a doll, will more often than not take it apart to see what’s inside. Little girls might put the toy car to bed and tuck it in, if given nothing else to play with and “care for”…
It’s how most of us are made. It’s quite fun to observe, actually.
