Gender roles being forced on kids
            Why do parents tell their child that they need to wear something girly or boyish?
Kids are kids and should be able to wear and play what they want. In this article they are talking about if girls have to wear girl clothes and do girl activities and if boys have to wear boy clothes and play boy activities. I feel as though our parents have some say when what we were but if a girl wants to wear basketball shorts and a graphic tee, or even more then she should be able to.
            “The study calls it the hegemonic myth: the perception that men are the dominant sex, strong and independent, while women need to be protected.” the media interviewed parents and that’s what they had to say. In today’s society boys over power girls and we are supposed to sit back and let that happen, but in reality we are all equally strong and can do the same thing, the only difference between us is that we are different genders.
           
“Puberty deepens the divide, especially when it comes to sexuality, turning boys into predators and girls into potential targets, the study found.” As the text states boys are predators and the girls are innocent angle, and its not like that all.

    I really liked your lead! I think you did a really great job summarizing the article too. I would like to see more of what you think. Do you agree or disagree with what the article is saying and why? I also think you could lead into your quotes a little more smoothly. Maybe give us some background on what they are talking about and who 'they' is. Your quotes were really good though!

    I felt a bit confused throughout this because you never really stated why they were talking about this and what brought it up. You had a pretty solid lead and your responses to the quotes flowed pretty well with the article. You also reference an article in the end but never gave us a link to follow. Other than that its a great piece.

    I agree with your statement about the gender rules, but i feel like it needs more depth, in the background portion.

    I personally don't agree with what was said and feel more detail could have maybe helped

    Kayla, this is definitely an interesting topic as your peers have indicated. It lacks the clarity needed for it to be a developed piece. Make sure you are including the link to the website and separating the ideas from the article with your own ideas. It was hard to tell whose were whose.

    This is really interesting...I totally agree with you though, we need to let kids choose how they dress (meaning the style). I think that it does lack some clarity in a few spots, but it can easily be fixed! Good job!
