I was just reminded of a convo I had with someone I knew at work a few years ago who was adamant that kids are born with gender roles.

her proof was apparently in her psych textbook, which referred to a study where 6mo babies would choose toys that conformed to traditional gender roles and their general behaviour skewed towards that as well.

I was pretty skeptical of the conclusions of that study (if that was even what it was saying, I never got to see it), but if it did, babies are not exempt from the impacts of media and adults around them.

idk why I was reminded of this now but it really pissed me off at the time.

oh and I think she said also that the study confirmed female babies are more inclined to be catty towards each other, gossip, etc. Something like that.

Probably. I kept asking for details and she wouldn’t give them to me.
