Someone in my uni Discord legit argued blank slateism :pepeCringe:

Auto translation: "like all the serious research in the target shows that children are equally malleable regardless of gender, that's why gender is a social construct, girls prefer dolls and boys prefer cars not because it's in their genetics, but because that's the way it's pushed on them, if you have kids and you let them play with whatever they want and you don't show them commercials on TV, they'll play with both kind of equally"

And 6 people agreed and nobody challenged him :honk:

@matrix >girls prefer dolls and boys prefer cars not because it's in their genetics, but because that's the way it's pushed on them
That is objectively true though
@matrix Except it actually is. Blank slate theory is retarded, but thinking male children are genetically drawn to cars and female children to dolls is somehow even more retarded.

@miria They aren't literally drawn to cars and dolls. Girls are more drawn to humans and boys to mechanical things that move.
