So did I ;)

Only today I left this comment to @alchemage:

Those studies were conducted by Elizabeth et al. (2014) & Bown and Disxon (2000). They indicate that this appears to be the case, yes. In an attempt to eliminate the influence of socialization in children's preference for toys, they turned to our closest ancestors to check it all out. The results showed that the males preferred and spent more time with toys like cars and planes, and the females with dolls. It seems that socialization is not the only factor at play when it comes to which toy boys and girls enjoy playing with.

We've been exchanging comments on a post he wrote entitled:

The Social Birds & the Bees: The socialization of gender, a toy store ethnography.

It's, perhaps, something you would be interested in. But, beware it does focus a lot on the social aspect of gender identity formation.

Thank you for stopping by @tychoxi, I will definitely read your article. This topic sparks great interest in me and I have just learnt from your comment about the biological basis for boy's and girl's different drawings. Although, it makes sense though. If one thinks about it :)

Best,

Abigail.
