Yknow why little girls play house and shit? It's because they want to. The little girls that dont want to are running around with their stick swords play fighting with the boys who wanted to do that too.

Maybe you missed it earlier, so I'll repeat: they've done studies on infants who can't even speak yet, and those infants know (you can see them paying more attention) when someone is violating gender roles. For instance, if a man wears lipstick or a dress, the baby will pay more attention to him because the baby knows what men and women are expected to do.
Now, how can you possibly claim that such a child isn't influenced by those gender roles? In other words, how can you be so certain that it's just about little girls "wanting" one thing and little boys "wanting" another, when both have been taught exactly what a boy should want and what a girl should want since before they could speak?
