What is Gender? Gender: comprises the behavioral and psychological traits considered appropriate for men and women: VS. Sex: Biological identity
Universal? Sex characteristics are SAME in ALL societies. Gender traits …are socially created and vary from culture to culture.
Gender Roles and Identity: Gender roles: The specific behaviors and attitudes that a society establishes for men and women. EX: Women: child-care and domestic duties Men: Economic support and physical safety for family.
What are sociologists concerned about? Gender identity: The awareness of being masculine or feminine as those traits are designed by culture. However, cultural values influence gender identity and roles…have changed over the years.
Between Cultures: Margaret Mead studied 3 New Guinea societies…discovered differences in culture.
Tchambuli Society: Men & women care for children. Women provided food for family. Women were bossy and efficient. Men were gossipy and artistic. Men wore cosmetics and curled hair.
Mundugumor Society: Aggressiveness was the norm for men ANDwomen.
Arapesh Society: Both men ANDwomen were expected to be passive and emotionally warm.
What does this mean? Gender roles are sociallycreatedrather than biologically based.
Gender Identity and Socialization: Learn appropriate gender-role behavior through socialization. Begins at birth. HOW?
Is this nursery rhyme true today? What are little boys made of? What are little boys made of? Frogs and snails, And puppy-dogs’ tails, That’s what little boys are made of.

“What is wrong with a society having sex role stereotypes?” • Brainstorm the negative consequences of this form of stereotyping. • Be sure to include the negative consequences that are suffered by men as well
Gender Roles and Social Inequality: Women: Adult years in pregnancy/nursing babies. Took on roles allowed them to stay close to home. Men: Required strength and travel away from home base. Hunters, traders, warriors Gained much prestige…source of power within group. Patriarchy: men are dominant over women.
Conflict Perspective on Gender Roles: Gender roles = reflection of male dominance. Through their control of economic and political spheres of society, men have established laws and customs that project their dominant position. In so doing, men have blocked women's access to power.
Sexism: The belief that one sex is by nature superior to the other. Can become a self-fulfilling prophecy: People who believe that women are in some way incapable of occupying positions of power make choices based on this belief. Result lack of women in business, political, and professions.
Gender Inequality in the United States: The Women’s Movement Education The World of Work The Political Arena
The Women’s Movement: Sexes were socially, politically, and economically equal. Suffrage: the right to vote. Nineteenth Amendment (1920)
Betty Friedan’s book The Feminine Mystique She REJECTED the notion that women were content with roles of wife and mother. She argued that the “feminine mystique” – the glorification of these roles – was simply a ploy to keep women in a secondary positions in society. Women began to demand greater opportunities and fairer treatment.
Other gains in equality: Congress passed several acts outlawing gender discrimination in education and in the workplace.
Education: In today’s American education: 57% women make up in total college population. 56% women earning all bachelor's degrees awarded.
Differences in Degrees: Men: Engineering, physical science, architecture. Women: Education, humanities, library science.
What About Graduate School? More women attending graduate school. Women make up more than 57% of those enrolled in graduate courses. 58% earn Master’s degrees awarded each year. HOWEVER, Women are LESS likely to pursue doctoral or professional degrees. Turn to pg. 269
What about Athletics? 1970s: Funding for women’s athletics practically nonexistent at most coeducational colleges and universities! Female College athletes: 16% Female High school athletes: 8%
Education Amendment Act of 1972: Bans discrimination on the basis of gender in any program- including athletics – at any educational institution receiving federal funds.
Results: About 40% of all college athletes are women. HOWEVER: Less than ¼ of funding for college sports goes to women's athletics Female athletes receive less than one third of available scholarship money.
