1.) .People aren't the same as monkeys. A big theme in anthropology is that humans are as much affected by biology as they are by culture. The hard line factors of one or the other tend to be inaccurate.
2.) There is room for other factors. If children are the same as the monkeys, it suggests that women are about equally interested in "male"/"female" toys. Which puts to question the claim that women aren't as interested. Someone else suggested a potential reason for the differences is that women tend to be more biologically driven to care for children (which dolls resemble). That's hardly something to extend to jobs. |
Hmm. Now you're just being dismissive. Humans and monkeys are similar enough that they test meds, medical procedures and do studies like the one I linked. The link I replied to vgpolyglot with has more info/ studies that show this. If women are biologically driven to like certain toys over others then the same could be said about jobs or interests in general. Here's the thing. Alot of lefties like to make claims that are contrary to available evidence/data without showing any data whatsoever like this topic. If it's societal then where's the evidence other than "your truth" or "her experience"?
