Gender Socialization at Home
Captions available
The idea
Children infer gender rules from who does which chores at home, a pattern seen in gay, lesbian and heterosexual families alike.
In practice
Girls rewarded for cooperation and empathy, boys for assertiveness and strength.
Where people slip
Mothers tend to respond to a child's personality, while fathers more often enforce gender stereotypes.
