Hi Bill
I agree that Jon Benet is the extreme. But I look at how mature the little
ones are dressed today and I think that sometimes they are urged in
unconscious ways to be older than they are. But the old stereotypes
remain as well as you say. My students observed Christmas buying in the
toy departments and they were amazed at how those old stereotypes were
reinforced. It was fun to hear their reactions--they believed before that
that the stereotypes were gone.
