Try to tell me that boys and girls are essentially the same. Try to tell me that they only take on gender roles that we teach them. Try to tell me that we indoctrinate young girls into thinking that they want and need to be mothers. Then let me tell you that Avery has 1 doll, with none of the little accessories, and multiple cars, noisemakers and other rowdy toys. With what is laid before her this is what she chooses to do:

She doesn't have a bottle for the doll so she is trying to feed it her own juice. I also caught her trying to feed goldfish crackers to her lion and fruit snacks to her monkey. Such a little mother already.

People who think boys and girls are the same are morons.

My case in point was Soren, who picked up a Barbie and used its legs as a handle and barrel for a gun which we had never owned or demonstrated.

They are totally different.

And Avery is a cute when she mothers.

Did she get a haircut? She looks so much older already. Such a little lady, that one.
