from the 2 cards that i researched you can see the gender messages that are given, for the girl she is seen as being an angel and for the boy the impression is that he is boss. this arguement fits in with the assigned reading for today because is shows the difference between how boys and girls are viewed, why cant the boy be an angel and the girl a boss? although many bosses are males there are a number of female ceo's etc..., and is calling a boy an angel considered girly perhaps thats the thinking behind gender specific cards.

I think the boy card you found with him represented as a boss is very interesting. I agree that there should be more examples that show women viewed in roles of power from the start.
