Inquiry: PG. 800 #7
I believe that online-gaming has an effect on genders and how people perceive the ways that they should act. I work with Children from the Olivets and the girls tend to play dress up games, or games where they are taking care of pets, the games are not very action based, while the boys are all for the action, their not playing dress up or taking care of things, they are more like destroying things and fighting with light sabers or ever doing face paced racing games. These pieces are something of what is incorporated within boy hood or even girl hood, certain standards are pushed onto children by the media as to how they should act, by what they like or what they see others kids playing of the same sex. Selfe, at some point in her essay mentions that kids should have gender-neutered play space, and I agree with that, they should have a place free from gender stereotypes where both sexes can interact with each other and be able to be free from stereotypes to just do what they feel like doing, whether it be house or construction, both sexes can do either of those activities, they don't have to be restricted to only one group due to media standards.
