Blog #10 Gender and Sexuality

Gender is defined in chapter 11 as "the socially constructed cultural expectation associated with woman and men." Expectations for a man is to be the provider when the woman's is usually the house wife to take care of the family. While sexuality is biological distinction between females and males. Such as body parts and visuals.People tend to have a gender identity when it comes down to it so that they know where they stand in society. While reading the article "Night Two his day" shows the difference in the roles in woman and male in society and how their gender effects their life from their career to their house hold.Then it relates to our appearance, activities, behaviors and emotions. Their is socialization in structural context that is happening since its not biologically based gender must be taught though socialization. The things we see in society dictates the why we will live owe life. Then we have this that have glass ceiling where jobs such as the president of the U.S.A has been men only. In the article it showed how boys relate to sports to be more manly such as foot ball is a all man sport consider a many sport its this identity we attract to what we do in life. Then Im sure some men and woman that are gay have more of a hard time living in society because of the execrations that they had to begin with are being subjected on to them. Then they are viewed different instead of being human being as well. Gender inequality and sexual identity is not concern for many early in life but it doesnt shape the way that theories based on gender happen.
