[stylist] [stylist:Off topic] differances between sex of children (was DBG 7)

[James Canaday M.A. N6YR]

Helene,
Judith is quite right.
it isn't PC to say, but male and female differ very much, even down 
to the cellular level because of different biorhythms, estrogen vs 
testosterone, and obviously XX genetics vs X Y genetics.
prof of mine in child development, I was an undergrad, did studies on 
gender of children and play types.  regardless of what toys were 
available, kids generally played according to their gender: little 
girls made families of the firetrucks and nurtured them; little boys 
zoomed the little dollies and made war with them.

I'm not surprised Judith can recognize gender so well.
I should have included smell above, male and female smell different.
