Life Lesson

Responding to the article I have just read the whole time it struck me at at a younger age your really dont have any sense of what is right or wrong or a girl or boy to play with because they both always see to play together and do the same things because that is what they are used to and that it what they wanna do. And as their time progresses as a child all they think about and remeber is that they like the things they play with or like the things that they see others playing with cause it catched their attention. But as time progresses and they get older and it seems to be that they are still liking and doing the same things as they did when they were younger just means they haven't come out of their child minds yet and figured out the right and wrongs of what they are supposed to like whether it is a toy truck or if it is a barbie doll. Another thing that might factor this is the way that the parents teach them to either play with or what clothes they need to put on accourding to their gender. But all in all that is just the way younger kid are because they are born and don't know the right and wrong or the do's and don't or what things are reflected toward their gender because all they are doing is see what life is.

  1. I wonder what society would be like if everyone was child-like in their relative ignorance of gender roles. Then again, everything that relates to kids, as you will find out with your gender socialization experiment, has some sort of gender connected to it. So even if we want to think that kids are gender neutral, in fact they are pretty gender programmed by what we purchase for them to wear, play with....or dress up for Halloween.
