4,601 | daddit | Wana play a fun game, op.... See how many people posting in this thread are first time daddit posters.... Strange that... Lol |
4,602 | daddit | I'm going to need a "female" with huge framed glasses (no perscription on the lenses) to tell me if it's ok to like this or not. I don't want to assume anyone's gender without permission from someone with rainbow colored hair and multiple piercings. |
4,603 | daddit | Nothing "natural" about it. Babies are clean slates. We encourage/discourage different behaviors for different genders. |
4,604 | daddit | OP: I love that your lil one does this, that's awesome to see his interest and interaction with his family and the world. I just don't want to see you make the jump from "this is my experience with my two girls and a boy" to "this is how girls and boys are different". That is probably just their individual personalitie... |
4,605 | daddit | Steve jobs alive and well! |
4,606 | daddit | I have fixed my own pain in the ass dishwasher 3 times. I've never used clamps before. That must be what I've been doing wrong. I'd get my son or my dad to help but they're too busy pretending to be a ninja and not calling me. |
4,607 | daddit | All my kids (a boy and two girls) will get pissed if grandpa and me don't let them 'help'. Except my son keeps stealing my cordless screwdriver and puts holes in things with it. |
4,608 | daddit | Lol |
4,609 | daddit | I think you just got a smart son. Two out of 3 of my nieces do this shit, while my nephew couldn't be bothered. |
4,610 | daddit | tfw I will never be a dad |
4,611 | daddit | I have two daughters who are 5 and 2 and anytime I make food or put something together/fix something I get them to help. They love it and it's relaxing. |
4,612 | daddit | This is an opportune time for your kid to learn the difference between 110 and 220. |
4,613 | daddit | My 4 year old son just helped his grandfather pull up carpet and put in wood flooring. |
4,614 | daddit | What a nice unusual family picture. |
4,615 | daddit | DID YOU JUST ASSIGN ITS GENDER |
4,616 | daddit | Dear OP: Your influencing your kids and calling it "nature." Try not to do that so much, it's dumb and it makes you make bad decisions. |
4,617 | daddit | Gender is a social construct ....kek...... |
4,618 | daddit | I thought maybe this was an honest mistake, then I saw your posts stridently defending casual sexism. I hope that your son learns to respect everyone equally, instead copying his father's barely-masked bigotry. |

4,620 | daddit | Did you just assign a GENDER! KEEP YUR HATE SPEECH UTTA DIS CAMPUS |
4,621 | daddit | /r/boysplaining |
4,622 | daddit | I know you've got a lot of shit for this post but didn't you post it because it's a picture of a boy doing what you expect a boy to do? If he's acting naturally, as you've said, why is this occurrence significant enough to be noticed, captured and then posted? It's pure trigger material. |
4,623 | daddit | Ahhhh reminds me of when my dad taught me to fix the dishwasher, but back in those days the only way to get your dishwasher working again was to smack her. |
4,624 | daddit | There is nothing natural about that behavior. Gender begins to instruct us the moment we are born, however we begin to gender children as soon as we ask that important question to the mother: boy or girl |
4,625 | daddit | ITT: anecdotes. |
4,626 | daddit | I have an 18 month old girl when she sees me working with tools she wants to work with tools also. Working with tools isn't a gendered interest, but it is certainly cool if that is your son's interest and not your daughters. |
4,627 | daddit | Why is grandpa using wood clamps to fix a dishwasher? |
4,628 | daddit | How someone acts is a combination of Nature and Nurture. People are born with a certain personality and are raised in a way which shapes that personality. The reason why he acts like how a boy "naturally behaves" is most likely because you raised him differently either subconsciously or consciously. Christ the gender ... |
4,629 | daddit | Excuse me, excuse me, are you assuming it's gender?!?!?! |
4,630 | daddit | Have you just assumed a gender? |
4,631 | daddit | Did you just assume it's gender? |
4,632 | daddit | N=3. My BS meter is clocking in the red. |
4,633 | daddit | Did you raise them like "girls" and him like a "boy"? |
4,634 | daddit | This is the most "reddit" thread I have every seen. The "Boy and girls are different!" jerk and the "Its nurture not nature!" jerk. Plus all the jokey "did you assume his gender" comments. |
4,635 | daddit | could be a result of many influences sending the message of what little boys should be like ..or could be his natural interests which aren't decided by gender regardless ..foster his interests..but comments like "oh what a boy ! " aren't necessary and instill a surface level way of thinking about things |
4,636 | daddit | [deleted] |
4,637 | daddit | Shame on you for perpetuating archaic gender stereotypes |
4,638 | daddit | Did you just assume his gender? |
4,639 | daddit | /r/thathappened |
4,640 | daddit | Yep, I know the feeling. When my son (5) asks "Can I help?" I know what he's really asking is "Uh, hey, what if that task you're doing took 3-5x as long to complete, would that be okay?". "Sure, kiddo." |
4,641 | daddit | I think it's funny that this post has nearly 100 comments and you are one of the first people to actually say something about the picture. |

4,644 | daddit | This is exactly right!!! Son of my own has to be helping me all the time. Just accept that the task will not be completed and the new task is a teaching moment for the child (whatever that me be)... |
4,645 | daddit | I always used to think I helped my dad finish our basement when I was very young (4isj). When I was 12 I found a picture of it. I had a plastic hammer. Even still, you know, thinking I helped made me want to help out more often, and eventually I did start doing real things. |
4,646 | daddit | just 10 years left for me! and couting |
4,647 | daddit | Cork? Spring for synthetic gaskets. You'll never look back. |
4,648 | daddit | Two girls than a boy also, at 3 he played with barbies because thats what the girls had, at 6 he has the girls playing with superheros and playing skylanders with him |
4,649 | daddit | I feel lucky my lil girl likes trucks and tools. Though hammers and things with wheels are cool no matter the gender. |
4,650 | daddit | I'm watching Skylanders on Netflix with my daughter. Great writing... I find myself chuckling often. |
4,651 | daddit | Did you just want 3 or did you really want to try to get a boy? I have a 2nd girl on the way |
4,652 | daddit | That's awesome. I can see some of that in my girls too. I definitely have a "Tomboy" in the mix, but she's also the one that is obsessed with rainbows and unicorns. I've gotten a few downvotes on my comments, so I think there are probably people out there that get ruffled up when people talk about gender roles. I'm... |
4,653 | daddit | gotta get her off that meth man, they'll take anything apart when they're on one. |
4,654 | daddit | Yes, there are always exceptions. We know, thank you. I actually think it's far more interesting to find common traits within the sexes. I appreciate people who celebrate their children's uniqueness but, ironically, bringing up an outlier every time we think we have a commonality adds nothing to the actual post. |
4,655 | daddit | Technically she has been doing it for years. |
4,656 | daddit | Yup, my daughter [insists ](https://i.imgur.com/3lc2d94.jpg)on helping out. |
4,657 | daddit | I'd get the death stare if I got in my dad's way. As a result I can barely fix a clogged drain. |
4,658 | daddit | My son is older (11)and does nothing but video games. Even if I take the elctronics he does nothing. .even with options I give him. My daughter (8) is a total bro. Hiking, working on the car with me, planting, bug collecting, pest management (Id'd plant diseases and bugs) is always dirty. Its funny and awesome. |
4,659 | daddit | This paragraph would trigger a lot of people in other subreddits, great we are here On daddit, it really makes me want to have a kid |
4,660 | daddit | I love it. I realize that all children are different. Note that it's my father-in-law on the floor fixing *my* dishwasher. I would have been the little boy covering himself with stickers when I was little. The last thing I wanted to do when I was young was wrestle. But that's part of the puzzle, right? My son, so... |
4,661 | daddit | Not just you, the world also. Cartoons, other kids, adults they see... Kids don't grow in isolation, and they learn from what they see. It's very difficult to work out what is environmental and what is not. |
4,662 | daddit | It's funny you should mention it. No, he is not, but he get's accused of being Mandy fairly regularly. It's strange for me, because I only really know Mandy from Princess Bride. |
4,663 | daddit | I don't think he looks like who you think he looks like. |
4,664 | daddit | He's psychoanalyzing the shit out of that little kid |

4,666 | daddit | If the cabinets in my house had no lock I ignored them. If they were locked it was like i was put on earth for no reason but to find out what that lock was protecting and drink it |
4,667 | daddit | My parents would just put everything out of my reach and put plastic bags and plastic plates etc. under the sink and reachable cupboards to sate my curiosity. Every morning I would rummage through and pull everything out and happily leave the kitchen a mess. They were incredibly patient with cleaning up my messes now... |

4,669 | daddit | Don't any radical feminists have kids of their own? |
4,670 | daddit | Seriously. I should have seen it coming, but I was tired when I decided to post it... I regret nothing! I do not regret being proud of my son for acting like a man. No more than I am proud of him when he is gentle and kind and nurturing to those around him. And I am proud of my daughters the same. |
4,671 | daddit | I saw that the far-and-away highest voted comment was "WELL IN MY FAMILY ITS THE OPPOSITE!" And I knew that jimmies were rustled |
4,672 | daddit | Seriously. I can't believe that so many are offended by the concept that kids are shaped by their environment... |
4,673 | daddit | It turned out to be a problem with the drain pump. At least, we think that was the problem. Really what happened was we took the entire thing apart, couldn't find anything wrong, and put it back together again in defeat. But once we had it back together it ran fine. ... you know, maybe the kid actually fixed it. |
4,674 | daddit | For the record, I have two girls and I would consider both of them as being very "typical" girls, but they are night and day different from each other. And out of my three children, the youngest girl is the most hyper and aggressive (or maybe better described as *"emotional"*). |
4,675 | daddit | > as a formal challenge to gender roles cringe |
4,676 | daddit | That's awesome. I think girls should know how to use tools. My wife was never raised to understand tools, and she is so intimidated by them she can't even hang a picture on her own. |
4,677 | daddit | Nobody cares. |
4,678 | daddit | why not? |
4,679 | daddit | I was worried at first. Because I myself am not what I, or most people, would consider "Manly". I mean, I'm a guy. But there's a reason why my father-in-law is the one laying on the floor working on my dishwasher in this picture. So, I was worried that I wouldn't be able to properly teach my little guy how to do gu... |
4,680 | daddit | Man, I wish it was a can of worms! Worms are genderless! What I opened was a Pandora's Box filled with children of ambiguous gender role. |
4,681 | daddit | And it's fantastic. She loves you and wants to be with you, and these are the places where she gets that, and in turn it's producing a strong confident well rounded woman. You sound like an awesome dad. |
4,682 | daddit | All people are different from each other |
4,683 | daddit | Yeah they are different, but you can't deny that a huge part of that is because of the media and friends around them. I mean, yes testosterone and estrogen do affect them, but I don't think those hormones make someone inherently more into tools/dolls. I am a feminine woman myself, and I was more into dinosaurs and mari... |
4,684 | daddit | [deleted] |
4,685 | daddit | oh chill the fuck out. just because your experience was different then op's doesnt mean you need to go off. |
4,686 | daddit | > It's not the nature of little boys, it's the nature of this specific boy. It's the nature of most boys, really. Think of it like a bell curve, with hardgay on the far left, moderate manliness in the middle hump, and extreme testosterone douchebaggery on the far right. |
4,687 | daddit | God. We get it, just because you're a shit father and you are purposely raising your sons to be weak and worthless men doesn't mean it's "unnatural". Fine, fuck off with your whining. |
4,688 | daddit | That's awesome. Thank you for sharing, even 5 years late. It was nice to see this picture pop back up again. I can tell you. Five years later, my little dude is still very interested in being like his dad. He's forever curious and tinkering. Turning everything over to see how it works and shaking bits of it onto the f... |
4,689 | daddit | I don't think that is an example of boys and girls being different, it is an example of your children being different. I was super into the outdoors as a little girl, and there were plenty more like me. |
4,690 | daddit | Get over yourself for real, [the rule is boys once they reach a certain age will naturally prefer manly toys.](https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2016/07/160715114739.htm) Hell even [male chimps prefer male toys.](https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2583786/) There's nothing wrong with characterising certa... |
4,691 | daddit | I know, right? Honestly, I don't feel like a lot of them are really even "Dad" material. |
4,692 | daddit | We've offered my son tons, *tons* of gender neutral toys, books, whatever. He runs to me like a bullet whenever he hears me using a hammer of drill. He roars like a lion. He doesn't want to wear anything but his hoodie with bats on it. He runs to the window for every police car, ambulance, and fire truck. He loves cons... |
4,693 | daddit | It's true that we encourage and discourage different behaviors, but I believe saying that there is nothing "natural" about it, is a debatable conclusion. One of the difficulties of studying something like this, is that it's impossible to pull children out of the stimulus of society. They will get messages about how t... |
4,694 | daddit | That...is absurd. Using that logic, gayness is environmental. |
4,695 | daddit | Eh. Human researchers tossed toy cars and dolls into a chimp enclosure with young chimps. The male chimps tended to play with cars more and the females played with the dolls more. That said the word is tended to. we shouldn't stop boys playing with dolls or girls with cars. |
4,696 | daddit | I'm sorry you are getting downvotes, because I appreciate the respectful way that you are making your argument. It's a rare thing online, and I'll upvote you for at least that, if not anything else. Although, I DO agree with the rest of what you say as well. I don't think in the argument of "Nature vs. Nurture" both... |
4,697 | daddit | Ever heard of testosterone? |
4,698 | daddit | Dear bigfinnfinder You're using "your" for "you're". Try not to do that so much. It makes you look silly. |
4,699 | daddit | You are. |
4,700 | daddit | No. I don't assume anything. I have just changed this dude's diaper a few times and I've made some educated conclusions based on what I've seen. |
