Comments by "Granny Annie" (@grannyannie2948) on "‘It’s okay if your son wants a pram’: Gender-neutral toys ‘no big deal’" video.
If he's over three or four, he's big enough to walk everywhere. But before then by all means push him in a pram. Babies of both sexes have always used prams and strollers.

There was a psychology experiment done in a daycare centre. The girls were given toy tools to play with and the boys were given toy mops and brooms. The girls wrapped up the tools and treated them like baby dolls, and the boys used the cleaning equipment as toy riffles.

When children are learning to walk they like to push things around. It's a developmental stage. And prams and strollers are not a gendered thing. Boys and girls of a certain age all get pushed around in them.

@hollysmith1347 Yes. There have always been tomboys. My mother was one. And so was one of my daughters. Both married men and had children. It's criminal what they do to tomboys today.

@@JudithButler-wg1sc They didn't have daycare centre's in the 1950s. And the 1950s are stereotyped. My mother was a tomboy in the 1950s. She loved shooting and fishing, building things and riding horses and bikes. She hated formal dress, but that was only required for church. The boys hated it too. Suits and ties in Queensland. To make it worse the church was near the beach and it was hot in Queensland. In about 1955 a new vicar came and saw the sweating children and young people overdressed and longing for the beach. He announced he had no problem if they came to church in shorts and T shirts and ran straight to the beach after the service. So keep your feminist tropes for America. They are not relevant in Australia where women were always equal. I know what my female ancestors have been doing since the 1850s and they were living quite independent lives, and engaged in all sorts of commerce. But they also had babies and nurtured them well or I wouldn't be here.
