Long overdue (a little joke)

So I realize this might be a bit of a late announcement but I wasn't really sure how to announce to the internet and so... I put it off

no rules or gender roles til it decides on them itself.

A tall order. Shall do what I can for the gender roles. Rules will have to come a bit earlier I think.

ask rousseau.

I read this really cool study (which I can't find now! curses!) that found that kids see gender as something completely fluid. Which is why they will so rigidly reinforce standardized gender roles on their own. The little girl INSISTS on the pink cup because if she drinks from the blue one, she risks becoming a boy. When we adults create this boy vs girl universe for them, they try very very hard to make sure they properly fit inside it.

Do not offer your child a Transformer until *after* he or she is born.
