I'm the real devil- the sporked tongued devil. Now that's evil.

Hi DanaC,
Yes. I should have gone easy on the 'is' . No reason why boys can't potter about with cosmetics in a 'historically gender constructed' girl-like manner! But in my experience, the majority of boys left to their own devices don't tinker with make up! I have to admit though that I find it fascinating to hear girls talk about Star Wars! |

Clodfobble,
Sound advice indeed. Exactly how I believe children should be reared. The easiest thing is to let them make mistakes on the assumption they will learn. But 30 is too late to learn one should have been made go to school (high school). My niece is currently learning this as a result of laisse faire parenting. |

lol, fair point Goddit.
What interested me, though, were the gender roles we have constructed for women in our culture, and how visible that is in what we consider suitable entertainment for 11 year old girls. *Smiles* [eta] you all do realise I'm going to be even more of a pain on the gender stuff than usual right? It's an inevitable consequence of my dissertation research. Last edited by DanaC; 12-19-2008 at 08:49 PM. |
