Forces Within Society That Reinforce Gender Stereotypes Among Youth
There are many forces influencing a child’s gender and the ways in which they express that gender, despite the misconception that children are typically attracted to certain objects or activities based on their sex. It is important for children to be able to express themselves in whichever way they may choose and not be limited by society’s pressures to conform to the norm. How children are raised greatly influences who they will become as adults. If society is looking to diminish sexism and expand the opportunities available for both men and women, then children should also be exposed to this expanding notion for equality.
