Your statement is truer than it should be. Ignoring this will not make
it go away no matter how politically incorrect it is. There is quite a
spread but more girls than boys are interested in dolls and more boys
than girls are interested in games of violence. Not all of this is
cultural.

We don't want to encourage the stereotypes but if we ignore gender
differences CP4E runs the risk of becoming CP4M.
