| | Gender - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | There is debate over to what extent gender is a social construct and to what extent it is a biological construct. | | | Gender can refer to the (biological) condition of being male or female, applied to humans, animals, plants, and other sexual species. | | | At the extremes of these views you have social constructionism which suggests that it is entirely a social construct and essentialism which suggests that it's entirely a biological construct. |

| | Gender role - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | In the social sciences and humanities, a gender role is a set of behavioral norms associated with males and with females, respectively, in a given social group or system. | | | Gender roles have long been a staple of the Nature/Nurture debate: Traditional theories of gender usually assume that one's gender identity, and hence one's gender role, is a natural given. | | | Gender roles can influence all kinds of behavior, such as choice of clothing, choice of work and personal relationships; E.g., parental status (See also Sociology of fatherhood). |

| | Gender: Equality between men and women- ILO, International Labour Organization |
| | The main focus or thematic areas of the ILO on gender equality coincide with the organization's four strategic goals, which are to: promote fundamental principles and rights at work; create greater employment and income opportunities for women and men; enhance the coverage and effectiveness of social protection; and strengthen social dialogue and tripartism. | | | The role of the Bureau for Gender Equality, part of the Geneva-based Secretariat of the ILO, is to advocate for gender equality throughout the organization. | | | The five main elements of the action plan to operationalize gender mainstreaming are: strengthen institutional arrangements; introduce accountability and monitoring mechanisms; allocate adequate resources for gender mainstreaming; improve and increase staff's competence on gender; and improve the balance between women and men among staff at all levels. |

| | Gender Dysphoria: Unhappiness or discomfort with the gender role assigned by family and society to one’s biological sex. | | | Gender Expression: Refers to the ways in which people externally communicate their gender identity to others through behavior, clothing, hairstyle, voice, and emphasizing, de-emphasizing, or changing their bodies' characteristics. | | | Since gender is a social construction, the terms we use to describe it are ever-changing and can never reflect the complex identities of all members of the LGBT and other communities. |

| | Politicizing Gender |
| | Gender must be liberated, but we all must have a voice in what that means, not from an abstract pre-determined theory, but a synthesis of real people's experiences. | | | Gender was understood as oppressive because it created artificially constructed roles of feminine and masculine to legitimate male supremacy. | | | Minkowitz responded that she didn't believe there are any essential gender categories, and while transsexual's choice should be respected, there is no such thing as a true transsexual. |

| | Consequently, the gendered aspects of most children's ads (see Tables), undoubtedly contribute to the normative patterns of early gender role formation that leads to the social realities of gendered standards in scholastic tracking, occupational sectoring and salary hierarchy, reproductive roles, and familial dynamics. | | | This being so, how male and female children relate to one another within both same and cross gender social interactions is as likely to have been influenced by commercial performances as by the examples of their peers or even by the model of their family (Bandura, 1966; Smith, 1994). | | | By viewing such commercial content on a daily basis, children are forming ideals and norms of female/male and femininity/masculinity that may actually contradict even the realities of their families and friends. |

| | Sexist stereotypes, such as the assumption that all nurses are women or that all executives are men, can seem like the status quo—the way the world “is”—especially when you are distracted by a deadline or concerned about some other feature of your writing, such as its organization or its tone. | | | Since there is little to be gained by offending people in your audience, it makes sense to educate yourself about the issues involved and to try to accommodate at least some of these concerns. | | | The trouble with gender bias is that it often takes real effort to uncover it, even in your own writing, and you have to train yourself to look for it. |

| | In some scholarly fields, “sex” is used to label biologically determined aspects of maleness and femaleness (reproduction, etc.) while “gender” refers to their socially determined aspects (behavior, attitudes, etc.); but in ordinary speech this distinction is not always maintained. | | | It is disingenuous to pretend that people who use “gender” in the new senses are making an error, just as it is disingenuous to maintain that “Ms.” means “manuscript” (that’s “MS”). | | | Nevertheless, I must admit I was startled to discover that the tag on my new trousers describes not only their size and color, but their “gender.” |
