About this listen

Conversations about the differences between girls and boys—and between women and men—often make people uneasy. Some fear that acknowledging differences will reinforce stereotypes or limit opportunities. Yet ignoring those differences may do exactly the same thing. The current cultural trend toward “gender neutrality” or “gender blindness” is often rooted in good intentions. But research increasingly suggests that erasing gender may unintentionally strengthen the very stereotypes we hope todismantle.

This is the first episode in a 5-part series to help us understand some of these differences. This episode focuses on the differences between boys and girls on "sight." I hope you find this interesting!
