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?

Goodness gracious me maybe it's idk.. GENETIC lol

Yes, it's genetic: it is in our DNA that men cannot wear dresses or lipstick (even though men wore dress-like garments in past eras), so that is why the babies pay attention when they do. Society and its gender expectations have NO impact whatsoever on infants or children.

I give up, you "win".

Or perhaps it's "hmm, that isn't what daddy normally wears. This is new to me. I should investigate." Not, "How obscene! This truly rubs my infant sensibilities the wrong way! Father musnt dress like a women should he wish to be respected by his peers!"

Peeps, I hate to end the fun, but dominance, aggression and masculinity in general (for both sexes) are indeed genetic and are largely established via the level of androgen exposure in the second trimester of pregnancy. Google "digit ratio" get a good night's sleep and thank me later ^^

Look at your hand. The longer your ring finger is relative to your index finger, the more pronounced your masculinity is likely to be whether you are male or female, gay or straight, old or young. I cannot understand why any woman would want to be man-like though. They are hairy, sinewy, smelly, disgusting things (no offense guys).
