127 pups and 199 adults were measured by mass, ear, tail, hind foot, and body length (Sparkman et al., 2010). To test for lifetime reproductive traits, the multivariate analysis of covariance method was used with the variables of sex, adult size and mass, home-range size, and population density, as these variable were positively correlated. Lifetime reproductive success was measured by how many offspring were produced by a wolf during its lifetime. Age of first reproduction was…
In many restaurants today numerous people can see that there are more waitresses instead of waiters. “In other words, waiting on tables is defined as typical ‘women’s work’ because women perform it and because the work activities are considered ‘feminine’” (Hall, 329). Why? Why is this position considered something that only women should be preforming? I think that waiting on tables and being a server has been considered mainly done by women for a long period of time based on the research that…
In life everyone just lives day to day. There are very few who actually disconnect life from the past. particularly not every day is there a person who takes time to analyze how our society became what it is today. Everyday society changes for the better or for the worst but in every little change everyone adapts because there is nothing else to do but continue living. However some things in society should not be they way they are simply because power is the key to change and we all have power…
The effects of handling and sex differences in rats on anxiety was tested using an elevated plus maze. This experiment was conducted to determine the impact of handling and sex on the level of anxiety in 60 day old rats. 24 rats were separated into groups based on sex and whether or not they were handled. The effects of handling on anxiety was determined by placing the rats in an elevated plus maze for 5 minutes and observing how they explored. This study showed that handling had an impact on…
a. Gender socialization/pg. 74: learning society’s “gender map,” the paths in life set out for us because we are male or female. The path laid out for both the male and female gender in China is very obvious. Males in China are much more wanted in the country than females are. Many males in China’s culture are raised as single children and are very spoiled and get almost anything they want. The males are treated this way because they are then expected to stay with the family to take care of…
The concept of gender is often difficult to define; many critical views oppose and clash with one another, whereas some interlink. Teresa de Lauretis views gender as a representation and claims it is not an essence fundamentally determined by ‘sexual difference’ . Butler’s stance fits a similar scope claiming gender is a construction , it is not passively scripted on the body nor is it determined by factors such as nature or language . These definitions of gender essentially portray it as a…
Gender Conflicts There is a common misconception about marriage and relationships believed by not only children, but many adults as well. This misconception was started by the utterance of three words; three words that can single handily wreck a marriage. Those words being, “happily ever after.” Why are these words so detrimental? Why do men and women fight? These queries are all resolved by explaining the differences in brain wiring, interests, and communication styles all lead to the wrecker…
We have observed the morphological traits from male and female of two Bruchinae species, which are Senegalia tenuifolia seed-predators, and how these traits are influenced by the resource traits variation under different conditions such as sampling events and sites. In respect to our hypothesis in which the increase in resource quantity increases body size and biomass, we have confirmed it partially. In general, female insects tend to have a larger body size than the males, and the difference…
which then grew into a campaign for women who required to receive the same rights as men. Marinetti’s supremacist rendering of futurism exposed a rather misogynist organization, deeming a woman inclusive government to be detrimental to the entire male sex. Mina Loy, highly influenced and inspired by Marinetti’s prominent and influential radicalism, in regard to futurism, took his artistic approach to craft her own appeals through her written work. The funny thing about Mina Loy is that she liked…
In the media, we find that there is a stigma that revolves around pre-marital sex and the concept of virginity. Through various forms of social media, such as Facebook, there are many posts concerning a multitude of heated controversial topics ranging from abortion, war, and immigration. There are also many posts from religious advocates that disdain sinners by shaming natural processes of life such as sex and frowning upon different sexualities. Obviously, these people are perhaps a bit more…
