Well, of course it does. Girls are brought up to be girls and boys are brought up to
be boys. If parents, day care personel and teachers (and other grown-ups in the
children's surroundings) stopped treating children differently just because of
their gender, we wouldn't have such inequalities in society.
And that program wouldn't have such an easy time figuring out if the writer's a man or a woman. ;)
This program only helps to increase prejudice about men and women, and just makes
the situation worse.
Though this is of course only the little feminist and anti-biologist in me speaking.
And this is way off-topic already.
