I do, however, want to pass along this supercool video that one of the students in the class found to demonstrate various aspects of gender socialization:
There's so much going on here. It demonstrates how little choice we have in the process of becoming gendered, how we resist this process, how much we can be ridiculed for assuming characteristics of the "opposite" gender, and even how men (as well as women) may feel helpless to address the problems that arise from gender socialization.

Wow! That is a really fantastic video. I love the end where the line is drawn, and both the boy and the girl are pulling on it and jumping toward it respectively to find away to get across.
Cute! But you know the boy would've still been laughing at the girl from way up high.
My favourite part is when the girl splooges all over the boy's face. How does it feel now that the tables are turned, boy?!
That's rather brilliant.
