| Toy R Us at Alhambra May 3,2012 |
Here is another image of toys. It is an example of gender socialization done so with toys.This image was taken at a local "Toys R Us." Notice the "My Little Pony" toys that are not only pink but it comes with a small comb that signifies that young girls should spend their time combing a ponies hair. The toy on top of the pony is a "Princess" set, thus conveying to young girls need to be Princesses. The set comes with a crown and a wand. The toy next to the pony is a Spider man yo-yo. The Spider man toy is blue opposed to the pink girl toys. Children are extremely gender socialized and this can create problems due to the fact that perhaps a girl likes Spider man and she may want the yo-yo and society has placed a unconscious restrain on her, for which she does not choose the yo-yo but the Pony or the Princess set.
