"Raising children in societies that adhere to rigid gender roles, with
fixed ideas about what should be considered “masculine” and “feminine,”
can actually be detrimental to their physical and mental health,
according to a study that observed 14-year-olds’ interactions over a
three month period."

Food for thought.
