Gender prep for Oct 2

Explicitly referencing some of the terms/concepts from this week's readings and videos, write a short paragraph reflecting on gendered norms of play and leisure in your home when you were growing up.

Were there assumptions or expectations around toys/games/sports/play in relation to your gender? Did they change over time? Were they in conflict with other messages you got in places like school, media, church, etc? How did the gender norms you experienced compare to that you saw for your siblings/cousins/other young people in your life? Looking back at your parent or caregivers, are there ways in which gender norms played a role in their leisure time?
