SOC366H1 Lecture Notes - Gender Inequality, Ender Wiggin
Document Summary
For example, the state of the economy affects what choices you can make. Individuals do have choice and agency, however, it is constrained. This is the interaction between structure and agency. An example of this is that runner named castro who was judged for her sex because she had too much based on physical appearance and observed behaviours testosterone even though she identified herself as a female. How others perceive you and treat you and based on that perception. How you behave based on gender identity and social perceptions. Social construction, interaction: masculinity and femininity social constructions . example - the color pink was associated with boy but now it is obviously for girls now. Secretary was male dominated but obviously not anymore - changes because of social construction and institutionalization of gender: we create gender,and a world of 2 sexes, it is embedded in our every day. We naturalize assumptions: gender is a performance.
