Inequalities of Gender & Age

Section 1 Sex & Gender Identity

How are children taught about gender and gender roles from a young age? Who teaches them these ideas?

Defining Male & Female What are little girls made of? Sugar and Spice And everything nice. That’s what little girls re made of. What are little boys made of? Snips and snails And puppy dog tails That’s what little boys are made of.

What do children think about gender? Children and Gender Roles

Research has determined that women re no more likely than men to touch other people; “ touchiness” is a function of personality and modeling, not gender. Women talk more than men Research does bear this finding to be true. Men tend to take up more space than women. Women are more likely than man to touch each other. Research shows that in spite of what most people believe, just the opposite is true. In one study, men talked on the average of 10 minutes more than women about an engraving. Women use less personal space than men.

Gender Vocabulary Biological Determination  the principle that behavioral differences are the result of inherited physical characteristics. Gender Identity  a sense of being male or female based on learned cultural values

Occupational & Economic Inequality What kinds of jobs are women doing? Occupational sex segregation  the concentration of women in lower-status positions Do women earn less than men? - Earn about $0.77/$1.00 ON AVERAGE Are all occupations affected?  Yes Is there a reason for this?? Do Women Earn Less Than Men?

Legal & Political Inequality What are some biases in law? - Some states do not allow women to keep their surnames - Limit the number of hours women can work & kinds of work - Title VII (Civil Rights Act of 1964) nullified such laws How do American women stand politically? - Very involved, participate on many levels - Zwiegenhaft & Domhoff point out women are now part of the power elite.
