VIDEO: Kids asked if a woman could do Santa’s job?

Santa Claus is the main man when it comes to this time of year but have you ever wondered why that figure is male?

Anomaly London decided to do a social experiment to find out if a group of kids thought that a woman could pull off the task of delivering presents for Christmas morning.

The majority of children said no, citing reasons such as she would get lost, she would be too busy feeding a baby and she wouldn’t be strong enough to carry the sack.

There were others who were in favour of the change with one commenting: “girls aren’t any different than boys.”

While the video may seem like a bit of fun, the organisation argues that it proves that gender stereotypes are ingrained in youngsters.
