* You have to believe that gender roles are artificial but being gay is natural.


I was listening to the radio earlier this week, I can't remember all of the details. The gist of it was, in some study in Australia or some other offbeat country. They were attemptintg to prove the thing about gender roles, they kids were in the 4-7 age range. Anyway the Girls were given GI Joe, and the Boys were given Barbie.

within 15 minutes the Girls were dressing GI Joe in all the hot Barbie fashions, and the Boys were running around pointing Barbie at things yelling "bang"

Maybe there is hope for the world after all. [wink]
