Gender socialization

Gender socialization is the idea that boys are given play tools and girls are given dolls to play with.  This idea continues into adulthood with people thinking that some jobs are only for men and some are only for women.  There are many more women nowadays in fields where only a couple of decades ago it would have been unacceptable.  I had a couple of female friends years ago when I used to pour concrete.
