Went to DS's school - received a booklist for over the summer which is split according to year and gender...
Looking at the books for DS's year group I see that the books "recommended by girls" have a mixture of girl AND boy protagonists whilst the boys' books are all about ... well.. boys.
Glancing around, the kids were dutifully reading from the list ascribed to their gender and I know that DS will likely be too embarrassed to pick one from the girls' side (although his favourite is on there) as they have hand in a review.
All this in mind:
AIBU to think this just perpetuates the cycle of girls reading about/watching boys but not vice-versa?
AIBU to think the school shouldn't have done this?
& AIBU to choose for DS myself - 1 about a boy, 1 about a girl and 1 about both?
I realise that's a lot of AIBUs!!
Feminism: Sex & gender discussions
AIBU to believe that this is a self-perpetuating cycle?
