Gender socialization at the beginning of the 21st century through the eventfulness of childhood
Abstract
In the article, the gender socialization is considered not only as a process of influence on children of the adult community through various mechanisms, it is proposed to include in the analysis the childhood events related to the independence, self-socialization of the younger generation. On the basis of a sociological study of the youth recollections of the childhood events (2018), the paper describes specifics in the behavior of boys and girls and draws conclusions about the manifestation of diversity, different intensities of the passage of the childhood events in the spheres of education and culture, the development of the information space, deviation, consumer practices. The contradictions in the reproduction of parental attitudes towards children of different sex, the destruction of deviation as a “male” sphere of adolescents’ life, and the infantilization of young men are revealed.
