Halloween and the male image!

I was observing our Halloween parade at school, all of the kids walk around the gym so that everyone can see their costume, and as the Spidermen walked by I immediately thought of the movie Tough Guise. All of the Spiderman costumes had padding to make the wearer look very muscular. Has society truly stooped so low as to sell the "perfect" image of a man to children as young as three, four, and five. Is the madness of it all ever going to stop?

Excellent observation. I had no idea that costumes came with padding these days. I don't think this was true just a handful of years ago when my son was T or Ting. This is another superb link from the reading/video etc. to the classroom moment.
