Assignment 1: LASA 2: Gender Appropriate and Inappropriate Behaviors<\/span><\/p>\n Recent headlines have sparked heated debate about whether boys should be allowed to dress as girls. For example, a 5-year-old boy in Seattle who enjoys things traditionally for girls, such as jewelry, the color pink, and dresses was supported and encouraged by his mother, who wrote a book about him called \u201cMy Princess Boy\u201d. A J. Crew ad featured a mother painting her young boy\u2019s toenails hot pink (CBS News, 2011 April 13). Reactions ranged from outrage and disbelief to support of the mothers.<\/p>\n On the flipside, girls who shun traditionally \u201cgirly things\u201d such as dresses and flowers in favor of more traditional \u201cboy things\u201d such as watching or playing sports, rough-and-tumble play, and choosing boys as friends are often called tomboys.<\/p>\n For either sex, choosing to engage in activities traditionally reserved for a specific sex can result in teasing and accusations of homosexuality.<\/p>\n By\u00a0Monday, March 28, 2016<\/strong>, write an essay that is 3-5 pages in length.
