Answer 1

Today children are aquainted to play with a variety of toys, starting from real life size animals to guns to vehicles to dolls of fairies and princes. But especially parents, teachers and in general society forces us children to select toys as per thier gender and future self, what they want them to evelove into. So society has decided boys should play with more rough and tough objects like guns, vehicles , sports related toys etc for the fact that in future when they grow up they would not find it awkward to play the real life role in the society and at the same time we ourselves have made girl children to select toys like soft toys, dolls and household equipmet as toys for the specific reason that they are relatively weak and in future their roles involve more to household and softer aspect of lives which involve care and delicate handling. Hence we as a society have shaped our children's toys to influence gender specific social conditioning.
