. . . announced that male African monkeys play with cars, females with pots and dolls…. Wonder if the Harvard faculty knows of these things?
How disheartening, JimB, to see that culturally created sexist bias and socialization constructs pervade even monkey culture. I think the Harvard feminists need another $50 million kickback to study this crisis and implement recommendations promoting monkey egalitarianism—monkey children must be socialized to androgyny, and monkey parents must be more egalitarian in bringing up their offspring so that both boy and girl monkeys play with pots, dolls, and cars.
