Re: Amen, sister...

YES!!!

In fact, I'm hoping to put in insidious little gender equality messages into our educational software. Our main character has a little sister. It's one of my dreams to show him bottle feeding a doll, next to his mom who is bottle feeding the baby. Sadly, it'll be really hard to do, since on the technical side, animating three characters on screen at the same time is seriously time intensive. It'll be a hard sell, but it's on my list.

It's always also struck me as particularly one-sided that liberation movements encourage women in the workforce, but do not encourage homemaking men. It's supposed to be about choice, freedom to do what you're best suited to. And, let's face it, I would totally groove on a househusband.
