objectively forming scientific theories, but upon further inspection it is clear to see that may scientists incorporate gendered biases into their findings. There is an entire scientific field dedicated to determining what biologically separates males and females, and what behaviorally separates men and women, generally focused on defining which group is superior. This type of science restricts findings to a binary category, forcing certain findings into categories they most likely do not…

on the child’s biological sex, which is thus, based on the child’s sex chromosomes and gonads, or sex glands. Even when a child is born as an intersex baby, without clear biological male or female parts, doctors will most often perform surgeries to make…

Halloween is a time where people can legally and normatively violate social norms, that are typically most rigid for women, based on how they should act, think, and appear, in order to maintain skewed power dynamics that makes them inferior, and thus, controlled by men and their own selfish objectives. While there are indeed gendered expectations about how men and women should dress even on a day like Halloween, that although defies social norms, fails to defy gender norms, it is problematic to…

act, gender roles influence every aspect of our identity. There are different expectations for males and females in regards to things like domestic behaviors, occupations, and physical appearances (Planned Parenthood). Men are expected to do household repairs, while women are expected to cook and clean. Occupations like nurses, secretaries, receptionists, hostesses(I know this is a term for females, but I have never seen a male host) are seen as jobs for women (when they want them to have jobs).…

The Emergence of the Female Hero in Film Images in films have historically portrayed women as the damsel in distress, the seductress or the love interest of the hero more than likely while incorporating one of the two aforementioned traditional parts. In the real world, gender roles and societal expectations stifled the imagination process of young women, limiting their expectation of what the future can hold. Film being reflective of society, often portrayed those women who dared to go against…

From a young age, I remember hearing different things containing something to the fact that girls and boys are different. Whether it was boys being stronger, or girls being smarter. As I grew older though, I started to hear the argument of males and females being equal and that we should be treated the same. Well, after doing personal research I have found some interesting differences between the two sexes. There are very obvious physical differences, but it also applies to our behavior. If you…

Throughout history, feminism considered equality to be equal treatment for males and females under existing laws. The focus was not to change this “issue” but rather be included within it. A woman was limited in almost every aspect, from family life to the workplace. Generally a woman had one path to follow, which was to marry young and get started on having a family young, and be a “housewife”. The status of women in the Middle East differs greatly from the status of women in America. Women in…

How far do you agree with the view that the women in Tennyson’s poems are presented as victims in a male world? In “The Lady of Shallot” Tennyson portrays the lady as somewhat of a victim by being trapped in her room weaving as if she leaves she will break an elusive curse she is under. In line 63 we see that “she hath no loyal knight and true” this implies to us that she is utterly alone in her world and whether she stays or leaves men have set up a world she is doomed to fail by growing old…

that should listen to their counterparts. These two pieces were composed to expose the outrageous manner in which women were regarded. On the other hand, “Canceled” is a contemporary piece which depicts the female character as a…

neither logic nor their management styles. The fact that the bias is higher with hypothetical managers reveals the actuality of people having a negative and unsubstantiated pre-conceived notion of women managers. Firms are still reluctant to allow female representation in top level management even though women’s leadership styles have achieved organizational success or the presence of women leaders are likely to be beneficial.
