I also realize that there's unexamined stuff in the second part of this post related to the privilege of marriage as a way to defuse all kinds of social and familial tensions. Just read <a href="http://feministallies.blogspot.com/2006/12/marriage-and-priviledge.html" rel="nofollow">the thread on marriage over at your place</a>, and it's challenging me. Thanks Jeff.

I think that story is a good little window into the complexities of gender acquisition and the like--and it's stories like that that I think of when my friends who are parents start trying to tell me that gender is all, completely 'hard wired'--even stuff like 'women nurture and men don't' kind of stuff. Great post. I love the story of the dolls being put away, sad though it is.

Great post.
