week 3 response

Ashley,
I agree with you in terms of this class. I think it has really made me think about things in a way I would not have previously. It is funny how we just assume that boys should want to wear one thing are girls should want to wear another. When in fact, most children just want to wear what is comfortable or what their friends are wearing regardless of whether or not it is more masculine or feminine. It is also nice to see parents not over-reacting to things like that. I think parents shape their child's views about gender. It is great to hear that parents are allowing kids to make choices and wear what they want without over analyzing the situation. Hopefully, these kids will be more open and educated when it comes to gender issues when they grow older.
