         <description><![CDATA[<div>1970’s observations</div><div> Toy's were gendered, just not in a "pink and blue" lens. The toys were separated by tough, fast, cool vs. cooking, caring, dolls. There were NFL and car sets with only boys, and kitchen catalogs with the girl's shown playing. I also realized that U.S had major gender roles in the 1970's between women and men; BEcause of gender roles, ppl were not as skeptical about toys. Now that gender roles and equality have developed, people are catching on to the subtle key ways people are gendered</div><div>1980’s observation</div><div>Toys were gendered. There were specific toys like my little pony, barbie vs. star wars and He-man action figures that started fully exploiting the gender roles in 1970-80. But, there were many toys that were gender neutral that is definitely gendered now. For example, Legos and cabbage patch kids and board games (<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_6MAkLJ79LE">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_6MAkLJ79LE</a>). The game operation was shown for all kids, and they were playing together and having friends, it was also a game teaching kids about being a surgeon (kind of).</div><div>1990’s observations</div><div>There are now guns and action figures with boy advertising, being shown as tough and cool. Nintendo and electronic games are brought into advertising, where Mario is cool and for little boys to be adventurous. While little girls are taking care of pink virtual pets, or playing with dolls. The Barbie commercials showgirls in cool new fashion trends playing with the barbie (which was first being used a female empowerment, notice how little boys aren’t in those commercial’s). Toys are now starting to be split into colors on top of gender generalizations and characteristics.</div><div>2000’s observations: </div><div>The way to appeal to younger girls is through fashion and popularity, while for little boys it is action and violence. The new electronic ads did not show one specific gender, for they were marketed for everyone. But the products made to accessorize the new electronic games were very gendered in pink and blue colors.</div><div><br></div>]]></description>

A cross tabulation of toys by gender portrayal showed support for H1, as dolls (58.3%) and animals (82.6%) were overwhelmingly relegated to girls-only commercials. As shown in Table 3,124 there were no dolls shown in boys-only commercials, and relatively few featured in boys-and-girls commercials (14.4%). Further, less than one-tenth of the animals were shown in boys-only (8.7%) or boys-and-girls (1.4%) commercials. Of special interest was the extent to which dolls were marketed as girl toys, insofar that dolls were more likely to be shown with no discernable gender portrayal (27.3%) than to be shown with boys, whether in boys-only (0.0%) or boys-and-girls (14.4%) commercials.”</li><li>“H2 predicted that action figure, game/building, sports, and transportation/construction toys would be featured in boys-only commercials more than in girls-only or boys-andgirls only commercials. As shown in Table 3, H2 was partially supported, with transportation/construction (87.1%), action figure (72.0%), and sports (63.0%) toys predominately featured in boys-only commercials. In fact, action figure and transportation/construction toy commercials had no girls featured, even when paired with boys. Although games/building toys were strongly featured in boys-only commercials (31.5%), they had slightly more prominence in boys-and-girls commercials (32.9%). That said, there were relatively few games/building toys featured in girls-only commercials (8.2%), indicating that girls should play and build, but more so in the presence of boys. 125”</li><li>Part c.

Sharps et al., Spatial Cognition and   </li><li>“Research on the cognitive abilities of males and females, from birth to maturity, does not support the claim that men have greater intrinsic aptitude for mathematics and science. Male and female infants do not differ in the cognitive abilities at the foundations of mathematical and scientific thinking; they have common abilities to represent and learn about objects, numbers, language, and space. . . . Although older boys and girls show somewhat different cognitive profiles, the differences are complex and subtle (it is not the case, e.g., that women are verbal and men are spatial). These differences tend to be small, and they stem primarily from differing strategy choices. Above all, these differing profiles do not add up to a male or female advantage in learning advanced mathematics. . . . [O]ur considerable gifts for mathematics and science have been bestowed, in equal measure, on males and females.”</li><li>Females still excel in math when they are given the materials at a young age to st art exploring and developing their spatial skills</li><li>2nd argument: girls naturally choose dolls, while boys like trucks</li><li>But unknowingly parents can place rolls onto their children, by buying them things they think they will like based on gender </li><li>3rd argument: girls play with all toys the same: if they play with trucks they will not play with them like “boys”</li><li>But when girls play with more masculine toys they actually do show improvement in math and science </li><li>4th argument: there could be another way boys have more developed spatial awareness</li><li>“play with ‘boys’ toys’ is related to the development of spatial rather than verbal abilities for children of both sexes, while play with ‘girls’ toys’ is related to higher verbal than visual-spatial skills.” (Lisa A. Serbin &amp; Jane M. Connor, Sex-Typing of Children’s Play Preferences and Patterns of Cognitive Performance, 134 J. GENETIC PSYCH. 315, 316 (1979).)</li><li>So toys may not be the only contribution but it is one of them</li><li>5th argument: tv is not the fault of those in charge of law but the parents</li><li>Parents have authority over their kids, but cannot decide how their kids perceive toys and take messages from ads</li><li>Parents care about the welfare and wants of their children. </li><li>88% parents said they encourage girls to play with blocks and trucks:Nancy K.
