From Sassiya:
In the article is telling, segregation both allows and encourages girls and boys to develop separate social worlds or cultures by different activities, interaction styles and social rules. Overtime, the more boys play with boys and girls with girls, the more gender typed their play activities become. This suggests a socialization by peers concerning which activities are appropriate for members of each gender. Children quickly develop strong gender schemas, cognitive associations of different attributes, behaviors, objects, or social practices with male and female represent knowledge structures that guide how people perceive the world as well as how they behave toward others. From the article is telling, most children learned and play with their own sex more than participatory with other sex. For example, of background I edited photo by putting more toys activity: on the left side with pink color in my photo the girl is playing kitchen and cooking food, the baby bottle and hospital that means she is learning how to take care the people, soft, and weak. On the right-hand side with the black, blue color in the photo the boy is playing fix things, car, football, and strong that mean strong and tough boy. Symbolism, I edited the photo boy and the girl are same size so, that mean boy and girl are equal. They can play toys whatever they want doesn’t mean to be gender. I saw some family still separate gender toys and not let the kids play the toys that it is not her gender. Such as my friend, my friend saw my daughter played with robot, car, even wear like boy cloths. She said to me my daughter will become a boy when she grows up. I don’t agree with her at all and let my daughter play whatever her wants. The characterizes the boy has tool to fix the stuff, ball, car compare to the characterizes the girl has make up lipstick, wear bikini, playing kitchen and flower.

From Gary:
I definitely agree with your statement about how people can be judgmental and quick to assume that your daughter will become a boy when she grows up was irrational. You're definitely right about how the kids will grow up playing with each other their own gender, as I looked back last night. I hung out with a group of boys dressing up like something came out the Purge with weapons in our hands for Halloween. That's how the boys were raised to use violence to establish their dominance even if it was for a silly reason. It's part of the culture being produced by our society.
I like how you used your kids in this photo to represent how girls are surrounded by things girls like to do and are more likely to be kept inside meanwhile boys , like your son, are outside playing with toy motorbikes and getting dirty and we see two different perspectives. In today's society this seems to be more how children are going to do things and play with items that correspond with their own sex/gender.
