Gender differences




I had to share this:

Yesterday Ade and I turned on the TV and flipped through the channels for a minute. We came to the Lawrence Welk show where a slightly flamboyant pianist was playing a slightly flamboyant classical piece. I stopped for a minute, and we enjoyed the music.

Ade asked me: "Is that a Mommy, or a Daddy?"

We watched for another minute, it was obvious (to me) that it was a male, then I said "I don't know, what do you think?"

The camera panned around to show the man's face more clearly.

Ade: "I think that's a Daddy..."

Very interesting....

Peace.

Interesting insight into socially defined gender roles, and their impact on early cognizant development.
