Scientists expose major differences between boys and girls in shock study

Article here. Excerpt:

'Feminists have spent years campaigning against “sexist” children’s toys which allegedly promote gender stereotypes.

Now researchers have shown that baby boys and girls naturally choose to play with the sort of gender-specific toys which many campaigners find offensive.

A team from City University, London, found that baby girls tended to enjoy interacting with faces and practising “fine motor skills”, whilst boys used their increased “interest and ability in spatial processing” whist playing.

The research flies in the face of feminists who believe kids’ playthings promote “harmful and limiting stereotypes”, because it suggests kids have a natural tendency to play in different ways.

Dr Brenda Todd, a senior lecturer in psychology at City University said: “Biological differences give boys an aptitude for mental rotation and more interest and ability in spatial processing, while girls are more interested in looking at faces and better at fine motor skills and manipulating objects.'
