Discusses how children are socialized to fit gender norms

Reference no: EM13507878

Newman discusses how children are socialized to fit gender norms through toys. Can you think of other ways gender socialization occurred in your childhood? Or, if you are a parent, in your children’s lives? Remember that you can be socialized not to conform as well as to conform, and that sometimes the individual resists socialization. Don't forget the Baby X reading in answering this question.
