I was doing studies of gender based play in children in the early 80s as part of my Psychology degree. Things were pretty much the same then. Disappointing that they don't seem to have changed much in 45 years.

But now they’re killing everything & destroying the planet to boot. The answer isn’t to carry on regardless therein lies extinction!
