Re: GG and Marriage: a Question of Sex?

Interesting.

My twins are 16 months old. My daughter likes to explore, break things,
crash cars and blocks, and my son likes to sit and read Winnie The Pooh
books and sing to himself. I don't think your particular environment
necessarily represents all of society! I think every child (male,
female, or other) has the potential to be whatever they so desire: piano
player, popcorn maker, astronaut or poet. Or even if they're REALLY
lucky, reclusive yet brilliant
concert-pianists-who-quit-performing-and-start-recording-contrapuntal-ra
dio-documentaries.

(The good news: they both clap their hands enthusiastically when GG
comes on the stereo. Of course, they also clap their hands to Barney,
that sexy purple dinosaur).

Regards,
Matthew

Women and men do act differently - a fool who could say the contrary.
Our twins (male and female, 4 years old) have totally diverging
interests - the girl loves role games and likes dressing and our boy
likes machines, the louder the better (and this does not come from
me!!!!!!). I don't know the share of genetic and acquired (educational)
reason for this. Anyway they ought to keep their individuality, but this
should not at all determine their possibilities for a living.
