Gender Socialization

1. Visit a Toy Store.  Visit a toy store or the toy area of a chain store (i.e., Target, Downtown Disney, etc.).  For this assignment, I want you to critically analyze what you see.  How are toys organized and displayed? Does this organization depend in any way on gender? If so, how?  Is it made clear which toys are for girls and which are for boys? If so, how? List 15 toys (5 for boys; five for girls; 5 gender neutral) that you believe are designed, marketed, and displayed for each gender.  What are the implications for playing with one set of toys over the other? What skills are being developed? Are they different across the three lists?  How comfortable would you be in buying toys from the “boys” list for a girl or gender nonconforming child?  How comfortable would you be in buying toys from the “girls” list for a boy or gender nonconforming?  Out of all the theories you have read about, which one do you feel best applies to this social phenomenon? Explain.
