The Social Construction of Gender
After reading and listening to the podcast about gender socialization I have come to realize that this is marked by either social gender or biological sex. When you're first born you are exposed to the costumed ways that little boys and little girls are raised by dressing them in blue and pink and then getting them toys such as dolls for the girls and then race cars for little boys. Almost everywhere you go or anything you will see on TV will have advertisements for the way boys are supposed to act and look like and same with girls.

Agreed, but I don't think there is anything to change it. When you go to another country, the same types of deviations are made, with only local specificities changing. Even if globalization and commericalism was not present, I don't think that would change.
