Of course, they both have capes too, and Flynn has a better suit than I do! :)</div><div><br></div><div>So yeah .. Gender roles? Whatever. Society norms are for the normal-borings, not the Vaughan-Limberks! Didn't mean to imply you were ignorant or something, but I really think that societal norms, particularly in the child rearing department, are enforced by those who choose to commit to their cultural inheritance: and I have very little of that impulse left in me these days. Culture is the crime!</div><div><br></div><div>Yeah, a girl.

<div>I observed many friends around me with daughters and they( daughters) don t have the same way of playing compare to boys ... ( Am I weird or not normal to realize this ??? )</div>
<div>Now saying girls <=> boys is not correct in my opinion ... I have no problem seeing a little girl asking a little boy to try his remote control plane ... seeing the opposite ( in probabilities) would be surprising ...</div>
<div>Which bring the next question : </div>
<div>Do you agree with what's going on in Sweden about the gendre theory in schools ? </div>
<div>Boys playing barbies and girls playing wars ...Schools making rules to ask boys to pee sit down on the toilette etc ? </div>
<div> </div>
<div>Will you be glad telling to the barians ,ie : Flynn plays barbies all the day long with his boy friends (note: a space) and for Xmas he wants the same clothes as his favorite Barbies unfortunately he doesn t like Ken ... lol :)</div>
<div> </div>
<div>btw my first question was not to talk about this "sexist subject" as you called it lol ...</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Now for the experiment you need a daughter ... :) </div>

<br></div>This is not the sort of generalization we parents like to encourage. A couple of Flynns' girl friends (note: a space) who are begging him to let them fly the planes might get a chance this weekend if the weather cooperates. Discourage sexism, at all costs!<br>
