Anne Geddes made a lot of money selling directly to innate female traits.

(All the gentlemen say, “who?”)

I know who Anne Geddes is. :)

I remember that in high school, our psych teacher brought in an article about studies showing that when women are shown pictures of babies, their eyes dilate, and men’s don’t. We were given some photos, put into groups, and told to test it out.

In general, we found it generally held true, although some of the girls didn’t dilate much, and some of the guys dilated a little—except for one young man who dilated like crazy. This was a boy who loved little kids like crazy, and came from a family of really enthusiastic family men, so no one was surprised. But what’s an ‘innate’ difference, when one kid out of thirty completely bucks the trend? And would the results have been different if the boys had been given baby dolls early on, and told how they’d be good daddies from childhood, (which this boy had been)?
