Girl toys vs boy toys: The experiment - BBC Stories Answer the following Questions: 1. What surprised you most about the video? (1 pt) 2. What do you think a gender-neutral toy would look like? (1pt) 3. Do you know of any gender-neutral toys? What are they? (1pt) 4. Although gender roles come later in life, parents start reinforcing gender types at a very young age. Pink is for girls; Blue is for boys. In this discussion, the activity is either using the Internet or going to a place that sells toys (Walmart, Target, Amazon, etc.,). Compare and contrast a "boy" vs. a "girl" toy. Please be sure to describe each toy, give the name, and explain why they are a boy toy or a girl toy. (6 pts). 5. What if anything could manufacturers do to decrease gender typing in their presentation of one of the two toys you mentioned above? Please be detailed in your description. (2 points) Answer the following questions: 6. What are your thoughts about this second video? (This should include a description and opinions) 3 pts . It's crucial to see a variety of characters in the media, especially powerful and independent female ones. We can encourage girls and demonstrate to them that they can be strong, brave, and save the day just like their male counterparts by displaying female superheroes. It's a fantastic approach to dispel gender norms and advance equality. Let's welcome and honor the awesomeness of female superheroes! 7. How is making toys gender-neutral different than making gendered superheroes accessible to both genders? 2 pts . Toys that are not primarily geared towards a certain gender are said to be gender-neutral. Regardless of a child's gender, these toys are made to be appealing and accessible to all kids. Toys that are gender- neutral often steer clear of themes or traits that are stereotypical of established gender roles. On the other hand, enabling gendered superheroes for both sexes requires making sure that both boys and girls feel represented and included in the superhero genre. This can be done by developing universally appealing, relatable female superhero characters and narratives. It's about dispelling the myth that superheroes are exclusive to one gender and enabling people of all gender identities to identify with and enjoy these inspiring characters. .

In conclusion, making gendered superheroes accessible to both sexes entails offering representation and relatability for all kids within the superhero genre. Making toys gender-neutral focuses on developing inclusive play experiences that aren't bound to gender stereotypes.
