I'm still not convinced, the amount of "social pressure" from day 0 (or even before) for a kid is just shocking (starting with: I won't buy a pink doll to my newborn baby boy).

Obviously with animals is different, but there might also be other things at play that we are not aware.

Happy to be wrong, but I think there are so many layers to make a call at this point that sure, there might be an influence, but society is probably what affects this the most.
