Please link the Youtube link to watch a short clip of "Childhood Gender Roles on Adults"
My Reflection:
After watching this short video, I was impressed. These actors really crunched up what Gender Socialization was when I was growing up. Growing up, I was also told that I have to act a certain way because I am a "girl". I couldn't act tough because my Mother told me that it wasn't very "ladylike". I was also confused as to why she says this. I remember in Elementary School, my parents would always buy me pink clothes or anything that is bright and girly, and they'd buy my brother the compete opposite, which was blue. At first, I agreed to this because I had wasn't aware that it was even an issue. But, why was the issue so affecting to others? Why does pink have to be for girls and blue has to be for boys? I never know the answer to this. When I was growing up to my adulthood years, my parents were move giving to the things they buy me as presents. When I gotten older, my Dad started buying me video games because he knows that I am interested in them now. Also, my Mom started buying me clothes that are NOT pink anymore because she now knows that I am a female and she didn't let gender socializing differ from what she is getting me.
