Subject: Re: Assignment 5 Author: Alicia Scott [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: 11:19:23 07/06/10 Tue In reply to: Dr. magun-Jackson 's message, "Assignment 5" on 11:39:05 07/05/10 Mon >Assignment 5 (Sex roles): July 9 >Social learning theory suggests that parental modeling >of gender roles may play a critical part in gender >role identity development. Reflect on what kinds of >messages or models your own parents demonstrated about >gender. Post your thoughts and a list of common >household tasks delineated by gender. I was raised by both my mother and my father. The only sibling that I have is a younger sister, therefore there were no gender specific chores or roles in my home. My father loves being outside and working in the yard therefore my sister nor I ever had to do any chores outside besides pick up our pool toys from the yard. My sister and I did chores at home, but we never thought about gender stereotypes being applied to chores. I was supposed to clean my room, load the dishwasher, told the laundry, and tidy up the kitchen. My sister cleaned her room, took out the trash,folded the towels, and vacuumed. My father just naturally took care of all of the "boy" work outside. Myself or my sister were never girly-girls however and would have done the outside work if asked. I played softball all throughout my childhood and into highschool and my sister took dance and also played ball. We both also had all kinds of toys when we were younger from barbies, sports toys, and remote control monster trucks. This never seemed odd to us as my next door neighbor best friend (and still best friend to this day (: ) also only had a sister and played with the same toys as us. My parents also never forced any gender stereotypes on us. I believe that the way that they raised us would have been the same regardless of our gender. Some typical household chores one might assume girls/women would handle would be: cleaning cooking laundry childcare overall balance keeper Some typical chores that one might assume boys/men would handle might be: yard work fixing things killing bugs(!) teaching kids to play sports cooking (on the grill) [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ]
