Is a boy more into sports because he has a penis or because his Dad liked sports and the other boys liked sports and they all looked down on him until he liked sports?
I’m guessing it’s the latter.
What about transgendered people? When they are young, aren’t they given the clothes and the toys of the gender everyone things they are and they sometimes reject them and prefer the toys and cloths of the other gender?
Often, yes.
Not sure what your point is, unless you’re just agreeing with me.
My point is that maybe there is something about what gender your brain is that affects what you like that don’t like. You said that maybe the only reason a boy likes sports is because his Dad did and how other boys would look down on him for not liking sports. If what you said is true, then a person born with the mind of girl but the body of a boy would still end up liking sports and the same would true of toys and clothes, yet we know it doesn’t work like that.
Newsflash: Some girls like football and Star Wars, some boys like My Little Pony Friendship is Magic. A person with the mind of a girl but the body of a boy absolutely can end up liking sports and “boy” toys and clothes. You may think it doesn’t work like that but I guarantee you are wrong.
Newsflash: More boys than girls like football and Star Wars, more girls than boys like My Little Pony Friendship is Magic. A person with mind of girl but the body of a boy tends to reject the boy clothes and toys the person is given and instead favors the girl cloths and toys the same is also true of sports. You may think it doesn’t work like that but I guarantee you are wrong.
Newsflash: Parents want their kids to conform to their preconceived stereotypes. If their kid is a boy, they’re more likely to try to get them to act like a boy. Kids see stereotypes of gender in media. They carry these throughout their life. Kids can also be bullied if they don’t like the “right” thing. You may think it doesn’t work like that but I guarantee you are wrong.
Do any of you have kids?
I am a father to a 2.5 year old daughter, and her preferences, while influenced by me, are so very obviously to me not altogether of my or my wife’s making. She likes pink. She likes yellow. But that’s not because we actively encourage it by pushing it on her. As a parent, I am learning how much of who God made her to be, as well as trying to train her in the ways I think is best for her.
As a parent, I grow increasingly annoyed at accusations that parents brainwash or wrongfully indoctrinate their kids.
I have two girls, 6 and 9. They love Star Wars and My Little Pony. I’m almost certain they only love Star Wars because my wife and I do as well.
Are you sure it has nothing to do with Stars Wars being a good movie?
It doesn’t matter how good or bad a movie is if you don’t know anything about it. They only watched it the first time because we showed it to them.
So they love every single thing you’ve showed them?
Of course not. What are you even talking about?
You seemed to be arguing that they only loved Star Wars because you show it to them. I think there is more to it than that.
Of course there is more than that. But the rest is irrelevant to the point.
I am sure society is terrible to girls that like Star Wars.
What?
