Boys prefer playing with cars to dolls because of basic biological differences rather than social pressures, scientists say.
Story here
Researchers observed young male monkeys spent more time playing with vehicles than with cuddly toys.
Their conclusion contradicts those of the dominant psychological theory that the preference of boys for vehicles and toy soldiers and that of girls for dolls is down to social rather than innate influences.

There is an EXCELLENT book worth reading. It's called Why Men Don't Iron by Anne and Bill Moir.
It explains the biological, chemical, physical and psychological differences between men and women. In short, it lambasts feminism, which tries to deny any real differences exist.
To summerize the book, gentlemen, the differences are -- as if none of us knew it already -- many and huge.
