Gender Lessons Learned in ChildhoodIn this activity, you will think about how you were taught to express your gender as a child. Socialization is an important part of childhood. Our parents, peers, and teachers, not to mention the media we consume, communicate to us in countless ways how to behave properly as a boy or a girl. If you were raised as a girl, make a list of the kind of lessons you have been taught about how a polite or good young woman should act. If you were raised as a boy, make a list of the kind of lessons you have been taught about how a polite or good young man should behave. Think back to your childhood/youth and answer the following questions with as many examples as you can:"When I was a child, I was taught that a polite young man or young woman should _______." If
you were raised as a boy, you might report examples like "never hit a girl." If you were raised as a girl, you might remember examples like "be sure to cross your legs at the ankle."
