Pink Brain, Blue Brain

This was the title of an article in the Sept. 14, 2009 Newsweek.  The author interviewed Lise Elliot, who claims many of the studies that report brain differences in male and female babies are mostly “cherry picked”.  She claims how we perceive children shapes how we treat them and therefore results in gender differences in future brain neurology and behavior .  I’m no expert in the area but here are a few pictures that are unique to Marcus that may dispute her claims:

Unfortunately, I have decided to not include the pictures of the poop that ends up in the bathtub or floor every month or so  from Marcus.   Maybe I’ll send them along to Lise Elliot and see how I should alter my “perceptions” of Marcus to avoid future mishaps.
