"Given the chance, young boys will try out dolls, and girls will play
with cars and building blocks. It's even possible to encourage the two
sexes to play together without too much moaning, says Lauren Spinner of
the University of Kent in the UK, lead author of a study in Springer's
journal Sex Roles."

I'm all in favour of more ponies for boys and cars for girls, or indeed
ponies in cars for everyone!
