小朋友认为女圣诞老人不能胜任工作
What if Santa was a woman - could she do the job? That's the question an advertising agency posed.
假如圣诞老人是个女的，她能胜任这个工作吗？近日，一家广告公司抛出了这个问题。
The answer, according to the four to ten-year-olds they asked, was a resounding 'No'.
Faced with this light-hearted Christmas quiz, the little ones wilted under the pressure of predictable gender stereotypes.
One boy claimed a lady Santa wouldn't be strong enough to carry the sack ('She would need to go to the gym first'); another said she would 'get lost in the sky'.
A little girl said Mrs Claus wouldn't be able to wrap the presents because her baby would get in the way and, more worryingly, one claimed a woman would fail because she would 'just get a headache'.
The one comment that could make women cross, though, was the child who reckoned a woman Santa would be good at 'bossing around the elves'.
