Question

Discussion Board 7: Thinking about Gender Thinking about Gender – Makeba Parramore Wilbourn

Spend some time thinking about how you might socialize your children to think about gender.

 

On this discussion board, write an original post in which you reflect on how you might parent your future children (or current children, if you are a parent) when considering issues related to gender. How attentive will you be (or are you currently) towards rearing your child to have traditionally masculine, feminine, or androgynous characteristics? Will you guide your child’s selection of clothes or toys, or will you allow them to freely select what interests them? How will you talk about the construct of gender with them?
