81. Boys with Make-up Sets?
We still do it to kids, even though more of us try not to. Particularly with Boys we as a society push them away from anything not concidered masculine. Look at how upset parents become when they observe their 4yr old boy wating to go out dressed as Princess Ariel, or Snow White, etc. How old are they when even 1 bully in there school can single them out for effeminate behavior. Just one child with an old school dad can push that view out to tens of students.

We may like to think that we treat boys and girls the same. But as a society we are very intolerant of Boys being anything but Masculine.
