My parents made an effort to include other-gender stuff in my and my brother’s upbringing.
When I was very little, my parents gave me a Playskool toy workbench, and a bright lime green metal Buddy-L dump truck. Both toys are still in the parental basement, and I still get a little thrill from digging them out from under the basement stairs and remembering how much fun I had with them. No wonder lime green is still one of my favourite colours!
And my brother and I both took dance and skating lessons. My brother was one of only 3 boys in the whole dance school—much to the frustration of teenage guys who ogled the girls’ performance at the CNE, and were ignored by them afterwards, as they all rushed over to my little brother (who’d been watching the show too), and fussed over him. Unfortunately, he was too little to fully appreciate this, as the teenage boys would have!
