One point that stuck with me is the statement regarding toy aisles
with an abundance of pink princesses. Just as we discussed in the
Gender Impact on Communication Focus Group, this issue stems from
culture and social acceptance. In this case, what is the "correct
behavior for a girl" and "correct behavior for a boy". It would
be difficult to get a girl or boy interested in any subject if
they are not introduced and encouraged at a young age that it is
"ok" to use and enjoy something that may not fit the "typical"
mold. <br>
<br>
I think the same issue is trying to encourage girls (and boys) to
play sports. If a child is not encouraged to play sports they
will have no interest.<br>
