Thinking about socialization processes, what are some tools or methods used to socialize gender. In other words, how do female become seen as girls/women and how do males become seen as boys/men? Give examples.

In order to socialise genders, it is important that the parents have to make the start. The household, allotment of work since the childhood, to the role played by the teachers would be responsible in socialisation of gender. Parents or grandparents who Define that women or girls should only help the mothers in the kitchen and boys should be out with dads helping with outside work. Since the childhood, when this distinction is made, it creates a barrier between the two se-xes, that does not allow their socialisation. If parents do not encourage girls to participate in sports or specifically athletics, or if they do not make the boys realise that even they should contribute to household work, there would be creation of a marked distinction in the roles that each gender has. Furthermore, if such practices are continued in school as well, gender distinction is encouraged. In order to end this distinction, grounds have to be laid since the very child hood.
