Distinction between Sex and Gender

- The distinction between sex and gender allows us to


acknowledge that some of the differences between men
and women are traceable to biology, while others have
their roots in environment, culture, upbringing and
education – what feminists call ’gendered socialization’.

- Sex refers to what is biological , and in some sense


‘natural’, whereas gender refers to what is socially
constructed (cultural).

Gendered Socialization

- Gender roles determine how males and females should


think, speak, dress, and interact within the context of
society.
- Gender roles define what is masculine and feminine.
- Parents, teachers, peers, films, television, and religion
teach and reinforce gender roles through conditioning,
such as boys getting toys like guns while girls are given
dolls or cooking sets.

Gendered Socialization

people make about the characteristics of all group
members based on an image (often wrong).

Men – strong, tough, aggressive
Women – forgiving, motherly, passive, soft

The Binary Caste System of Sex and Gender

- Emphasizes that there are only two


genders.
- This idea asserts the superiority of males
over females and thus constrains the
potential of males and females.
- Those who do not conform to the
expectations can experience criticism,
ostracism, and even violence.
