LOL

Can you be any more dramatic? What a 4 year old thinks hurts society? 4 year olds are filled with stupid ideas. When I was in kindergarten, I knew a kid that thought black people were made of chocolate. Did he end up becoming a Clansman? No. He grew up and forgot that silly misconception just as everyone else does.



More garbage. It couldn't be that most women just aren't interested in those things? Like it or not, there are innate differences between men and women and there always will be. What these parents are going to find is that their kid is going to move towards feminine or masculine roles depending on its gender regardless of what nonsense they promote about the child being sexless.
Ark, I am not trying to be an ass but Devils' Advocate provided concrete examples to back up his arguments.

You come off as the dramatic one.

AND there IS a problem with people thinking men are doctors and women are nurses. I work in health care.

I am a Diagnostic Imaging technologist and in my branch of DI, the technologists wear lab coats. They look at me in a lab coat and think I am a doctor. They look at my female coworkers (in lab coats!) and think they are nurses. Neither is correct but the preconception is still evident. AND I work almost exclusively with adult patients.
