Women will always look for wealthy partners, and the most attractive will get them. It comes from the Stone Age and survival of the fittest, where if women were not able to mate with successful men they would not have children and they would die.
“Obviously we don’t live in that kind of society now, but millions of years of evolution have pushed women into being that way – even if they’re not aware of it.” How the hell is this man even Danish?]]></description>

Now the company is launching Lego Friends for “the other 50 percent of the world’s children.” Will girls buy in?" This seems to be causing a minor kerfuffle on Twitter, but I can see what Lego are trying to do, and why. The 1980s style of relatively gender-neutral Town stuff has gone, and nowadays the line is, well, stereotypically male. Also: "The Lego Friends team is aware of the paradox at the heart of its work: To break down old stereotypes about how girls play, it risks reinforcing others. “If it takes color-coding or ponies and hairdressers to get girls playing with Lego, I’ll put up with it, at least for now, because it’s just so good for little girls’ brains,” says Lise Eliot", a neuroscientist and author.]]></description>
