MSM Surprised Boy Monkeys Prefer Cars

Priority News Exchange Program News Item (PNEP)

The mainstream media reluctantly keep coming out with the science that shows males and females of our species (and others) are just plain different, but we still are lead by the PC social engineers, and their bending over backwards to the egalitarians horde, who demand we see that things are more nurture over nature. Here is a report, followed by a video, showing the results (even though you can see this with the children around you I'm sure in your daily lives). Just because there are exceptions to the gender roles rule, doesn’t mean we ignore the rule, for generalizations serve a purpose for genetics is not a 100% bet.

Quote:

We all know the typical stereotype. Boys like to play with toy cars and trucks and girls like to play with dolls. It's a genetic thing. And it's a notion that has long been disparaged by legions of psychologists saying it's not genetics, it's more a question of early socialization.

Now, a team of researchers at the Yerkes National Primate Research Center in Atlanta has come up with a study that adds fuel to the nature-versus-nurture debate and sides with the traditional stereotypes.And the researchers used monkeys to do it.

The team – Janice Hassett, Kim Wallen and Erin Seibert – decided to offer typical “male” and “female” toys to rhesus monkeys to see if toy preferences aligned with sex. The researchers offered 11 young male and 23 young females rhesus monkeys wheeled toys and plush toys. The wheeled toys, intended to be masculine, included wagons and vehicles. The more feminine plush toys included Winnie the Pooh and Raggedy-Ann dolls.

The researchers found that the females showed a slight preference for the plush toys whereas the males showed a very striking preference for the wheeled toys.
