The Mask You Live In--Film Blog

In The Mask You Live In, we hear from a variety of experts on how American masculinity affects boys, men, girls, and women. For your blog post, I would like for you to think about your own childhood experience of learning what was acceptable for boys and for girls. Give an example of a time where you learned which toys you were supposed to play with. The toy aisle is color coded--pink for girls, blue and red for boys. Was there a particular toy that you wanted to play with but couldn't? Or was someone else told which toy was appropriate?
