Barbie vs. GI Joe

Another groundbreaking study:

"The reasons why girls and boys gravitate toward dolls or trucks may have more to do with genetics for girls and environment for boys, according to a new study.

Researchers compared the impact of genetic and environmental factors on gender role behaviors in preschool boys and girls and found that genetics appear to play a larger role in shaping girls' gender-specific behaviors while environment may be a bigger factor for boys."


I thought we weren't supposed to talk about gender differences. There aren't any, remember? We're exactly alike. Well not exactly but not so different that you'd notice. Well you might notice but it doesn't mean anything. And for heaven's sake, don't let's talk about it! Paging Larry Summers.
