Even though these girls might be on the same level as the boys who have been playing longer, these girls are still not treated fairly. Concerning the characters, “it implied that boys and girls aren’t equal.” The mention of “equality” shows the difference in perspective, to an outsider they are just characters on a screen but to the gamer it is so much more.

J. MAXX were all clearly reinforcing the same old gender norms in which girls are expected to be happy, cheerful, polite, and calm, while boys are expected to be assertive, loud, and wild. It is important to acknowledge the role that these clothing options play in instilling these gender norms into children in our society.

Growing up, we are surrounded by gender stereotypes. You walk into a Walmart, looking to buy your nephew a toy for his birthday. You approach two aisles: one full of action figures, dinky cars and monster trucks - the other, full of Barbies, dress-up clothes, and frilly stuffed animals. Societally labelled: “The Boys Aisle” and “The Girls Aisle”. If you bought your nephew a toy from the “Girls Aisle”, he would be shamed and mocked simply for having an interest outside of society 's norm.

The Girl is a poem that was written by Jamaica Kincaid in 1978. In the poem it talks about a parent telling a child what all to do, and how to do it. Some of the material discussed is how to wash the clothes, how to smile at someone you like, and how to set the table.

In other words, Greenfield reaches out to young girls in an attempt to build strength and convince them to continue doing what they love, despite what others say about
