2nd Blog Discussing Chapter 5

After reading chapter five, gender roles and expectations make a lot more sense to me now. Ever since childhood, the games we play revolve around gender role and shape who we become as adults. Since little boys play sports at a young age, they tend to become more adapted to rules and regulations, as well as competition and less communication as opposed to young girls who play house and tea party where no rules are involved and communication is key. Chapter five taught me that men communicate in very little words while women on the other hand want as much detail as possible. This is why men and women have such difficulty communicating at times. Chapter five was a great chapter, and after explaining what I learned to my friends, they found it fasinating the connections that were made.
