My teacher told us a story that I thought I should shared...
It was Christmas time and she was shopping for her son's gifts. She asked him what he wanted and he said I want an easy bake oven. She replied, no no hunnie that is for girls lets get the bob the builder grill...its more of a boy toy and you will like that better.
I really do not understand why she could not get the easy bake even my dad bakes all the time and it does not make him any the less manly or a great husband and father.

Women's Bodies in Theory and Practice
This blog is created by students from Clemson University's spring 2009 course Women's Studies 459 - "Building Bodies: Women's Bodies in Theory and Practice." This class explores the construction of bodies from various methodological perspectives, focusing on five specific areas: theories of bodies; bodies and genders and sexes; “misbehaving” bodies; politics of bodies; and constructing bodies. We welcome comments and contributions to our posts and discussions.

My son always loved to bake, too. We got him a tool chest and workbench for kids so he used the nuts and bolts in a drawer, stirred them with a wrench, and made make-believe soup for the family. If the kid wants to bake, let'em! Eventually, he got a small a la carte station and he still loves making soup and baking. I'm glad he stuck with it because breakfast in bed was never so amazing!
ReplyDeleteMy dad loves to bake. Zeke, from High School Musical, he loves to bake and in a way that goes with stereotyping and gender typing. The basketball team thought he was crazy at first, but once everyone realized that it's okay to fill more than one role it was not bad for him. Infact, it even helped him with talking to Sharpay. She enjoyed his pastries. Also, there are male chef's on television, like the guy from Hells Kitchen.
