Thesis: Enforcing what girls and boys can or can’t play with brings about unhealthy gender standards, unnecessary division, and limited freedom of expression.
Point 1: People’s preconceptions of what girls and boys should play have created unhealthy gender standards that fosters a very toxic mindset about how to view oneself
Point 2: Telling boys and girls who and what they should play with creates unwarranted division between children of both genders
Point 3: Children should be allowed to express themselves freely with what they enjoy to play with.
Group: How do these 3 Points connect? How? Why?
Examples: Division by gender at an early age may lead children to the more “extreme” aspects of gender, running the risk of preventing children from playing with, or behaving in ways, that they prefer (or feel most at home in).
Cause-effect type of connection. The division of playing with only certain toys sets the chain in motion, resulting in exaggerated behavior which may feel less true to children.
