Subject: A Truly Free Personality

Do you feel that traditional sex roles contribute positively to the development of a truly free personality? Why or why not?

Sadly, no I do not feel that traditional sex roles contribute positively to the development of a truly "free" personality. To me a truly free personality is the ability of a person to develop their likes/dislikes without the constraints of gender specified molds. For instance, I feel that if a boy wants to play with dolls, let him play with dolls, if a girl wants to play with trucks, let her play with trucks.

I do not feel like that positively contribute to a "free" personality because there are too many constraints placed on what a boy or girl does, what they play with, how they dress, how they act, feminine vs. masculine that tend to mold how they develop. And instead of developing freely, they are almost forced into behaving a certain way because of the certain actions that are deemed positive for either a boy or a girl.
