It is stupid to give children gender-neutral toys to play

Because proper gender development is important for survival and developmental/cognitive skills.

Because humans are born undeveloped, parents and others provide extensive socialization, generally intended to promote personality traits and skills they think will help offspring in their future adult roles. To the extent that women and men have different adult lives, caregivers tend to promote sex-typical activities and interests in children – dolls for girls, toy trucks for boys. Conventional socialization can set children on the route to conventional career choices.

STUDY IDEA: The Motion of Emotion

As you go geographically further away from the location of the source that elicits your emotions (shame, anger and disgust)

English Erasmus students in Turkey vs. English students in their own country --
in the news they hear that a few English people did something so morally wrong/disrespectful that requires confrontational action (collective action), such as a rape event or getting naked on top of a holy mountain, etc.

How do people experience and express their shame, anger and disgust to the target person and to their own country when they are abroad vs. within their country to what happened, and how does national identification moderate these effects.

more anger in own country than abroad --> because it is action-oriented and being in your own country affords action

more shame abroad than in your own country --> because it is related to social image, feeling like you have a defect character, and your national identity is more salient when you are abroad

disgust may be high in both abroad and in your own country --> signaling moral condemnation

- There are studies which measured physical formidability by muscle size, weight and height of participants.
