Thank you very much for your kind words. I'll have to give your post a read when I have some time, I'm pretty busy working in my lab and preparing for school in September.

Language certainly is a major factor in how we develop our identities, that's what I was mentioning with the baby talk for girls and tough talk for boys. It's a very obvious correlation, so it blows my mind that people don't understand or accept this idea! Thanks for the study link. :)

I'll have to look into your studies about toys, are you saying they show that socialization is not what brings children to prefer a toy or not?
