On Wednesday the 17^th we conducted an interview discussing whether gender is biological or socially learned. My interviewee and I both agreed that biology and social ways both contribute to how someone's gender is perceived. My Interviewee discussed the ideas that all though we are born of a certain sex, does not determine whether or not you are looked at as feminine or masculine but that it is also our culture and social groups that begin labeling things as masculine or feminine. My interviewee also brought up the idea that sometimes when we see parents rising a child who is male and begins to play with Barbie's and dolls they get told that toys such as those  are meant for girls. This is an example shows that all though we are born of a biologically male or female it is the society that you grow up in that determines whether something is feminine or masculine this is one way we can see that gender is not solely learned biologically but that social aspects also have a huge in pack on shaping gender.
