A nursery school teacher in New York State reports a changing attitude on the part of preschool boys. Boys play in the kitchen more than they used to. Some of them even take on feminine personas.
 
  They'll say, 'I'll be the grandma.' On the other hand, right in the middle of
  this play, they will often revert to boyish behavior. They'll pick up the mops and start using
  them as guns. Discuss and explain the developments noted by this nursery school teacher.

Question 2

Define the difference between sex and gender. Give examples of gender characteristics.
 
  What will be an ideal response?

Answer to Question 1

More students will probably note that this example illustrates cultural acceptance of
less rigorously gender-stereotyped behavior (and more androgyny) but indicates
the persistence of tendency, influenced perhaps by both biology and culture, toward
aggression in boys.

Answer to Question 2

According to the text, sex is defined by biology and includes the anatomical
differences between boys and girls. Gender is a cultural construct and includes
everything from toy preferences to dress.
