Socialization
When it comes to our understanding of society's accepted behaviors (NORMS). Gender is one of the most heavily attacked processes of socialization. Everything from Vehicles that adults drive to instruments high school students play to color schemes in a hospital nursery.
Our society has brainwashed (socialized) us to know what things are for boys and what things are for girls. In additions the socialization process reveals clues to what our society expects from women and men.
Women are delicate, polite, "lady-like", they are not aggressive, they are thin, pretty, emotional, they smile often. Men are warriors, tough, aggressive, big, strong, and sturdy and stern.
I'd like you to spend some time online looking at images and trying to see the hidden process of socialization.
