please explain how from birth boys and girls are often treated differently, first in how they are dressed, parent-child interactions and the toys they are provided. Although historically treating boys and girls differently may have been helpful in directing them towards their traditional roles, considering many women are now becoming single mothers and both men and women are desiring a larger choice in jobs, not necessarily the gender stereotypical jobs, can you please discuss how this childhood socialization may not be helpful in the new direction we are trying to head in. What can be done to encourage more equality in the genders and do we want it? Please explain.
