Gender role

I recently subbed for a kindergarten class and it was funny how gender-role played in the classroom. The girls thought that the boys were nasty and cruel, and the boys viewed the girls as being spiteful. The girls seemed to watch the boys every move. It was as if they knew eventually that the boys were going to do something inappropriate, so they could tell me. At that point, I had already summed up the class; the girls were like little baby dolls (cute and lovable) and the boys were like little G.I. Joes (rough and rugged). However, during center time, the same rough and rugged boys were playing with the stoves and kitchen toys. It amazing how gender roles intersect.
