 Furthermore, when it comes to families, nothing is really more important than the children, just like at schools. And just like at schools, children should be properly guided throughout their lives. Children living in families should not be raised in an environment in which the idea of genders are nonexistent or are complicated to conform to social ideologies that stand against the status quo. “Canadian Mother Raising ‘Genderless’ Baby, Storm, Defends Her Family’s Decision” is an article by Linsey Davis and Susan Donaldson James and it talks about how a baby named Storm is being raised in a “genderless environment.” Storm’s parents have decided to keep their child’s gender hidden until Storm is older and to raise Storm and the other children in an environment where the idea of gender is not expressed. While many child development experts praise the controversial choice of Storm’s parents, there are some that disagree, such as Dr. Eugene Beresin, who is a director of training in child and adolescent psychiatry at Massachusetts General Hospital, “‘To raise a child not as a boy or a girl is creating, in some sense, a freak [. . .] It sets them up for not knowing who they are [. . .] To have a sense of self and personal identity is a critical part of normal healthy development [. . .] Identity formation is really critical for every human being and part of that is gender [. . .] There are many cultural and social forces at play.’” (14-21). Dr. Eugene Beresin's point clarifies how gender identity is vital for children to develop. Parents should not try to create an environment absent of genders, but should instead support children and the gender they are born with. In an article written by Patricia Edmonds, “Helping Families Talk About Gender,” she exemplifies the importance that gender identities and roles play in shaping a child’s personality. She explains how parents should introduce gender to their children, “What parents can do: All children need the opportunity to explore different gender roles and styles of play. Ensure your young child’s environment reflects diversity in gender roles and opportunities for everyone.” (3). While it's important to support the gender of a child that they were born with, it is also important to enlighten children of the opposite gender. If children aren’t knowledgeable about the opposite gender, then they start developing unrealistic thoughts and usually develop some resentment towards the opposite gender. In Lisa Belkin’s “What is Good for the Kids,” she brings up in her article that homosexual parenting doesn’t have major effects on children and in some way are better than hetrosexual parenting. One of the cases that Belkin provides is how, “lesbian mothers [. . .] tend not to divide chores and responsibilities according to gender-based roles, Goldberg says, ‘because you have taken gender out the equation. There's much more fluidity than in many heterosexual relationships.’” (13). Belkin’s notion is that the more reduction there is of gender-based roles, the better it is for children. However the exception is that not all gender-based roles are inherently bad for boys and girls. There are many things boys and girls naturally like to do and don’t like to do. It’s similar to how most men don’t mind seeing gory images, but girls do mind. Gender is as important in families as it is in school, which is why gender must not be kept away from households. Instead, parents should be actively informing their children on what gender is and how it applies to them.

Discussion

 Discussion from Austin

1. One gender code noted in this film was that men are always taught from youth to be strong and not show any weaknesses. They are taught to suck things up and move on, so no crying. I think this is a really toxic thought to have in our heads as men have the most suicide rates. Telling men to not show any emotions is a really harmful thought to have. 

2. One thing that I found interesting was the difference between feminine and masculine traits. People feed into these traits to make it more prominin. Also when she says our sex difference in the brain must be hardwired. The brain can sense millions of emotions and children even before they are born, their brain already starts to change.

Let's define internalized sexism as a class! Anyone want to start us off?
Yes, Harry, that is one good way to define it!
 a societally instilled sense that non-men are lesser than men

Innate prejudice or discrimination based on sex. not necessarily something that you are aware of

(something that is part of you)inherent to your being prejudice or discrimination based on sex.

Tell me it’s wrong the scarlet nails my son sports or the toy store rings

he clusters four jewels to each finger.

He’s bedecked.  I see the other mothers looking at the star choker,

the rhinestone strand he fastens over a sock.

Sometimes I help him find sparkle clip-ons when he says sticker earrings

look too fake.

Tell me I should teach him it’s wrong to love the glitter that a boy’s only

a boy who’d love a truck with a remote that revs,

battery slamming into corners or Hot Wheels loop-de-looping off tracks

into the tub.

Then tell me it’s fine—really—maybe even a good thing—a boy

who’s got some girl to him,

and I’m right for the days he wears a pink shirt on the seesaw in the park.

Tell me what you need to tell me but keep far away from my son who

still loves a beautiful thing not for what it means—

this way or that—but for the way facets set off prisms and  prisms spin up

everywhere

and from his own jeweled body he’s cast rainbows—made every shining

true color.

Now try to tell me—man or woman—your heart was ever once that brave.

 

Bullying

 

Bullying

 

I was bullied at my young age when I was in elementary school. In the morning, I did not want to go to school but I had no choice to refuse that my parent encouraged  me and sent school I was still going to school but I was very stressful and unhappy for me that’s lead me to quit the school to escape from those bullies kid. Other young kids were having experienced like mine bullied by same class mates. Even though bully was unacceptable we still see in the news. It is sad to see bully culture in the school is not disappearing yet. Some kids were could not tolerate the bullies, sadly the kids was end up their own life.

 It came across into my mind how are we going to help and prevent not to happen same incident this bully community.

 In my opinion parenting and educating the moral ethics and behavior, correct the inappropriate on the spot, provide emotional and psychological support to our kids is very important in order to prevent their kids not to bully other kids. To educate the kids that there is no benefit bully other kids. Reinforce the kids to establish the positive school climate with school mate.
