Single-sex education

barriers prevented people from being themselves, such as remaining the gender they were born with throughout their whole life. Any movement and straying from their gender, based on their biological sex, was not acceptable and was looked down upon. Societal structure and law made very clear that biological sex must be the same as sexual orientation. However, in the play Twelfth Night, or What You Will, Shakespeare creates Viola to manipulate gender ambiguities that allow her to express her true…

In “The Necklace” by Guy de Maupassant, Mathilde's desires are "feminine," because what most interests her is attracting male attention. Throughout the story, Mathilde shows greediness. Her greed is not the only thing that she desires. Mathilde was being greedy because she wanted to get the men’s attention by looking attractive, beautiful, and elegant. Mathilde wanted to do more than just getting men’s attention; she wanted to seduce them. Mathilde felt like she needed to be wanted. She bought…

a detention if one was caught using it. I was taught that your sexuality did not make you less of a human. This reality was shattered for me, however in middle school. Middle school is where we started to read the news and began to learn that same-sex marriage was not legal in throughout America. This perplexed me, how could two people not be able to marry, if we’ve been taught that they are the same as everyone else? My understanding of sexuality was socially constructed from the teachings that…

Feminism in Sports Society has always tried to enforce social control in the world. This constant hunt for control in society’s normative compliance has transitioned into the world of sports. Professional sports have been in our country for close to one hundred years; while various sports have progressed at their own pace, industrialization has progressed at even a faster rate. Some of America’s most loved sports such as basketball, football, and boxing have endured the test of stabilization…

many issues in terms of appropriately creating a single phrase referring to the individual, as well as to how to define it. For the most part, because hermaphrodites presented such a significant problem, they were abhorred in society, and in many cases, executed at birth. More so, such executions were not limited to infants, but adults were at risk as well (Adroutsos). Ultimately, throughout all phases of Roman antiquity, the notion of a third sex, such as hermaphrodites, defied…

female athletes found a huge difference between many male and female sports. This was brought to the attention of the government, and thus Title IX was created and should continued to be enforced due to the effects it has had on female athletics and education.…

perspectives when examining this topic, but an ethical view is one of the most important because many people question whether or not it is acceptable for the government to interfere with such personal matters. Due to the policy there are distorted sex ratios, a large elderly population, violations of women’s rights, and practices that are harmful to women’s health. Since the implementation of the one-child policy, China has experienced…

And younger females everywhere appear to be doing somewhat improved in standings of wages than older females, except in Latin America and the Caribbean, possibly due to the development in female education, but likewise, perhaps because older females have taken time out to have kids while younger females do not. Or because the wage gap is such that in numerous countries like Brazil, middle-class females in waged work outside the household must be capable…

I am currently in a group for Children’s media and the academic journal that I found was on the Sexualization of girls. This journal went over how sexualization is related to objectification because a lot of times men in society will see females as objects for them to rule over. “women and girls are both sexualized, via their tight clothing and makeup, and objectified, portrayed as existing for men 's pleasure and lacking in their own agency. There is not a parallel trend in which boys are often…

gaining equality but still has a long way to come. You guessed it, sports. There has been a law that has gone into effect for athletics and education called Title IX. This act states that, “No person in the United States shall, on the basis of sex, be excluded from participation in, be denied the benefits of, or be subjected to discrimination under any education program or activity receiving Federal financial assistance.” Essentially this means that men and women cannot be discriminated against…
