Question

Are gender differences rooted in the brain? Is television viewing harmful for children? Are boys better in math than girls? Is home-schooling an effective method of education? What is your opinion about IQ?

Answer 1

Yes, gender differences are rooted deep in the rain. Gender stereotype is etched in the minds of young children. One of the major stereotypes is, boys wearing blue and girls wearing pink. Blue denotes masculinity and pink denotes femininity. These are the only superficial discriminations. In any field of work, there exists the "glass-door effect" wherein no woman is ever allowed to reach the top most position. In every field a woman is paid lesser than her male counterpart. Gender differences have its roots dug deep in our patriarchal society. A basic freedom of choosing between boy toys or girl toys is taken away from children. They are handed-over gender specific toys. Children are forced to be stuck to toys that are meant for only "boys" or "girls".

If a boy aged 5 wears nail paint because his mother is painting her nails, the little boy is looked upon by other adults of the family and he is called a girl. The boy then associates nail paints as feminine and never dares to wear it again. Gender differences are indeed rooted deep in the brain.
