<p>I have a lot of links, I&rsquo;m sorry.</p>
<p>Sweden&rsquo;s been going down an interesting track with the whole gender-neutrality thing, recently, and I suppose I can&rsquo;t complain, though some of the things they&rsquo;ve been doing have been a little silly. The preschool that has abolished gender is a little strange, given that the children likely go home to a family that uses gendered pronouns. It kinda begs a study of whether or not the kids treat &lsquo;hen&rsquo; as slang at school, then, sorta like the whole &lsquo;yo&rsquo; thing that came up a while back.</p>
<p>Here&rsquo;s an interesting comment:</p>

<blockquote>
<p>Lets ignore the fact that boys will never want to play with babies and dollhouses. Lets ignore the fact that boys are different from girls.</p>

<p>There&rsquo;s a lot bound up in that comment, really. A lot that&rsquo;s been discussed ad nauseum before, though, so I&rsquo;ll not go into it other than to suggest that perhaps that might actually be the point that Sweden&rsquo;s kinda trying to make, here.</p>
