Weird, my parents wouldn't let me play with Barbies when I was a girl and emphasized me to focus on work-place focused skills and analytical thinking, so I got Lego and Capsella, played sports and went to Summer camp instead of the mall.. Now I am an engineer and  out of my peers arn one of the highest salaries. I married another engineer, and i didn't turn out gay?
The downside is that Im not very good at doing my hair or applying makeup, so I often have to pay for those services when I need them :S
