The Gender Blur:
The reading was intriguing to see the characteristics of both men and women.
Boys behaving much the same...
"biting off their toast in shape of a pistol..."
"asking for dinosaur toys..."
Girls behaving much the same...
"barbie dolls..."
UC Berkeley
"how hormones can build sexually different nervous system..."
Interesting to see how men and women think and behave differently and how this shown in their bodies.
Personal Experience:
little brother and me have shown exactly the characteristics one would see when buying toys. When I was young I bought barbie dolls and my little brother bought legos. The whole idea that men and women have different interests and hobbies really intrigues me.
Gender Roles Behaviors and Attitudes:
From reading this article, the one part that intrigued me the most is that from experience and how the way the mind works we could find out that the dominate figure are the men. Men are associated with influence tactics and verbal style. Women completely the opposite.
From my experience this is true when I see myself versus my little brother. Although we are siblings, the way how he is a boy and I am a girl changes the way we think and act.
I thought that the last part of your post was very interesting how you talked about buying toys when you were younger. It is interesting how you both fell into that perfectly.
