The idea
Same-gender peer groups converge on shared interests, and children with an other-gender sibling play more with counter-stereotypical toys.
In practice
Toy aisles and advertisements divided by colour and gender since the nineteen nineties.
Where people slip
Children's media often show stereotyped roles and exaggerated bodies, though recent programmes include more varied and non-binary characters.
