SOC345H5 Lecture Notes - Lecture 10: Ingroups And Outgroups, Metrosexual, Sex Assignment
Document Summary
Gender identity: how one thinks about self, not genetic or biological. Gender expression/role: demonstrate gender, actions, clothing, talk, interests, preferences. Sexual orientation and behaviour do not always line up. Homonormativity: one right way to be gay. Idea that there is a linear relationship between sex assignment, identity, expression, orientation. Anything outside, is seen as deviant, criminalized, medicalized. Seen in institutions- religious, social, legal system overtime. Men as ranked above women in same race and class. As a structure, divides public and private. In western societies, our social order is organized around this perpetuating gender, racial, and ethnic inequalities. Fail to do appropriately, individual is held responsible. Complicit: not subordinating women, still get paid more than women at the job: still benefitting from it, social institutions frame as being superior. Hegemonic will take things out of other masculinities that it likes: metrosexual thing.
