      3.What did the researchers find about the sexual stereotypes? ... was far easier to break away from them.

      Almost from the beginning, our sexual stereotypes have become so entrenched that they influence nearly everything we do, from the sports we play to the instruments we study to the careers we finally pick. A recent study reaffirmed that young boys are far more likely to pick instruments generally considered "male," like drums, the trumpet or the saxophone, and girls will pick "feminine" instruments", like the violin, clarinet or flute. Betty Repacholi of the University of Washington and her former student, Samantha Pickering of the University of Sydney, reported their findings in the current issue of the journal Sex Roles. The researchers, who studied more than 600 kindergarten and fourth-grade Australian children over the past couple of years, found that it't far easier for a little girl to break away from the stereotypes and pick a masculine instrument than it is for a little boy to pick up the violin. Some boys do, of course, and many of the true masters of that instrument are men, perhaps indicating that gender is far less important as the inner muse takes over on the road to excellence. But in those early years, it can be really tough for a little guy to pick up his violin case instead of a football and head out to school. That's not what boys are supposed to do. In other words, it might not sting as much for a girl to be called a tomboy as it does for a boy to be called a sissy. So girls, the researchers suggest, make the break more easily than boys, at least in the short term.
