I finally had time to read your post. As interesting as usual.
As far as gender awareness is concerned for a 5yr old; I personally think it is largely due to environmental influence - geneticists call it nurture. However, due to biological issues (such as hormones), Camille can actually grow up to become confused about her gender; especially if she grows to have more male hormones than female hormones. Again, Geneticists have a word for it - nature.
Nature and nurture play synergistic roles in shaping a lot of our attributes. Long before the internet, the majority of African women are contented with sitting at home tendering to the house chores and the kids. The advent of internet and modernization, however, have made a lot of African women to become nurtured towards the lifestyles of women in advanced countries. Hence, a lot of them now work good jobs and are no longer contented with just sitting at home.
Let me rest here abii. Well done
Hello my dearest @gentleshaid :)
Thank you so much for taking the time to read and comment - I know how busy you are! Well, what can I add to your comment? We seem to share the same opinion about the weight environmental factors have on defining someone's role in society, and I like the way you brought another example to illustrate this. Still, you did not disregard the biological and the social influences. After all many, many or features are the product of the interplay of three :)
Have a wonderful weekend :*
I wish you all the best always - hope you are feeling better!
