Interesting read, though approaches like this (attempting to blur gender definitions) often seem questionable as they begin to blur the lines between taught and inborn gender definitions, ie it seems that the typical response that this article demonstrates is to teach/encourage nontraditional gender definitions. While in the author's situation, it is obvious that some of the students entered the class with "blured" gender viewpoints, it becomes difficult to discern how much our educational system etc is contributing to and/or propogating these viewpoints simply by teaching them as "OK"
Great article, but doesn't really seem appropriate for Hacker News.
I read that article on lego, http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=3357522 and hence thought it might be continuation of that debate.
I would vote for keeping it. It's obvious from the title it's sort of off-topic but it's indeed a great article on hacking the minds of kids to open them to difference
