From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

"Games and toys, or types of play, in many cultures are gender (and age) neutral, but some are given a gender role (masculine or feminine). Games given a gender role are exclusive or segregationist, and a game labelled as such is often considered by both children and adults as appropriate for boys or girls but not both, though the difference[which?]may be difficult to discern by cultural participants[further explanation needed] and outside observers. Some games, such as many sports, are or were officially gender segregated, and the gender role given a toy or game may effect its marketing.[citation needed]"

  1. Original: "Games given a gender role are exclusive or segregationist"
  2. My correction: "Games that push boys and girls to identity with certain gender roles can be considered exclusive or segregationist." I think this was an important correction to make because when imputing information on Wikipedia it is extremely important not to provide your own personal opinion because neutrality is key. Although, I agree with this person's statement that these games are exclusive and segregationist, my opinion, and everyone else's opinion, should be irrelevant on Wikipedia.
