So I was reading a psychology book and it made several observations about what the answer to this question says about gender training in America.

They did a study of 6th graders and the results were very interesting. They found that more than 3/4ths of the boys picked a carnivore or other strong, violent animal and that more than 3/4ths of girls picked soft, cute, cuddly animals. Some girls even refused to pick animals and picked plants or other passive things.

The conclusions this psychologist drew are that we train to boys to be violent and we train girls to be passive.

I am not sure I agree that this study says that, but pick an animal and tell me why you chose it!

Your beauty should not come from outward adornment, such as braided hair,
gold jewelry and fine clothes. Instead, it should be that of your
inner self, the unfading beauty of a gentle and quiet
spirit which is of great worth in God's sight

The idea of being a squirrel really appeals to me now that I think about it :)
Before this though I would have said iguana!
