I find it a bit disturbing that there is always the general case 'children' in the headline and in the article, but no mention of boys, only girls doing the work and in the pictures.

There’s plenty of mentions of sons in the article, just no pictures.

  Plenty? I read the article again and found only one.

    Sorry, misread. Only the dish washing example is a boy, but I don’t think this is inherently gender specific.

      Mexicos (and many other) current culture is not exactly known to be gender neutral on most (all?) things. Sorry, but I am a little skeptical about your assumption...

        Probably isn’t, neither is India where I’m from. Boys would be heavily discouraged from doing kitchen or clean chores even if they tried. But the principles and techniques in the article seem to be gender neutral, even if their application in the cultures studied isn’t.
