This is what I am expected to do:
The task here is to use the analytical tool of gender to examine a product / event / activity in our world. Toys, toy stores and catalogues, clothing catalogues, music videos, video or computer games, greeting cards (baby, marriage, wedding, kids birthdays) beauty product advertising, commercials, tv shows (for adults or kids), popular music, Disney movies, – how is gender evident and reproduced in these everyday elements of our lives?
Someone is using fashion magazines, someone is using a disney movie, and another one is using brats dolls. They are going to show in the magazine and on the dolls who the wording shows how these products are show common characteristics related to the female or male gender.
Answer
If you will go for a consumer durable product, you will never be able to find a product which is of use of any particular gender. For example, Scooty is meant for girls only, but I've seen boys also riding scooty.
The only option we are left with is to consider FMCG/CPG category. In this category also many products are becoming gender neutral. But even then many products has still boundaries (kindly note, we should not consider exceptional cases). For example, ladies bags and wallets are different from gents wallets. Ladies sandles are different from gents sandles. Undies are different from gents' undergarments.
I hope I have given you a direction meaningful for your project.
Wish you all the best.

Answer
I think gun violence is still greatly misunderstood, or maybe, statistics misused, from both sides of the fence. I grew up in a family where my Father was a special agent (Law Enforcement) and he always had his gun handy. In addition, me and my Father hunted, so we had shotguns, rifles, and pistols in the household. There are quite a few households out there that have guns in them, however, if I was doing a study on Gun Violence, I would ask some questions regarding Guns and Education? I was taught early on how to handle and respect a firearm. That included the importance of locking your weapons up. I would suspect that you'd see much higher, significantly, gun violence rates and its affect on kids, when not only children are not educated at some level, but the parents.
