kitchen set!

ok so im sooo excited about this topic because i have taken a lot of gender classes and my knowledge has grown so much about this issue since i have been in college. i have two nephews (who i love more than anything) and its so interesting to see how they grow up. in the olden days, and even now days, it is said that the women are the ones who belong in the kitchen. the men are supposed to be the ones who can put food on the table however the women have to cook it. i dont know if any of you guys ahve heard of buy buy baby. its a kids store, like toys r us, and they are now selling kitchen sets that are blue! so its showing that guys can be in the kitchen too which i think is great. my sister actually purchased on of these recently for a christmas gift for my youngest nephew and i think it is a great way to show respect for women. because a lot of times i feel like its disrespectful to say that the women belong in the kitch and should be doing all the laundry as well as cleaning. i hope that soon it will be socially constructed for men to "belong in the kitchen" WITH their wives :) if you go to toys r us website you can find pictures of boys kitchen sets!

  1. I love this and completely agree with it! I also hope that this will help make it more acceptable for males to be in the kitchen more often!
