There's no doubt in my mind that society in general allows Linnea to be more active because they think she's a boy. Maybe someone can point to the studies that show girls are encouraged to be much more sedentary than boys from a very young age.
By coincidence, Wingnut and me were discussing how active Linnea was a couple of days ago (this was sparked off by a sexist toy catalogue). We wondered what would happen if she went to school instead of being home educated, if she would become less active or if the early training would hold.
By the way, I heard a lot of very positive comments about Linnea from other party guests, all remarking on how lively and active she was!
