PRECEPTION OF WOMEN:
THEORIES – WHY AND HOW
1. why:
- psychoanalytic/identification
evolutionary
--> this talks about gender identification and boys and girls
social structural culture
2. How?
social interaction theories → gender identification issues past child hold
PRECEPTION OF WOMEN: Slide 5
1. women are - either equal or unequal - in employment, decisions in the
house hold, holding office – are women and men equal or unequal?
→ freud saw situations – women were not equal. This was not always so – in
each of these that we talk about is – that women were equal.
2. Ancient Writings:
- religious writings
old testament
- who were the first people on earth? – Adam + Ev → men came first – this
was the reason why they were seen that male were more superior
God in reality – called made these genders equally
the first women – Lilef → first person on earth?
Than why do many people actually know the Adam came in the world first
and they were superior to other genders.
Greek Philosophers – early years – women philosophers were given equal
status as men. AS time went on – but the male philosophers start to dismiss

what women were saying. They started equally but began to separate to be
unequal.
it was the time after the new testaments → were bishops or prohpets – they
held that position. But as time went on – women were seen as dangerous.
Don’t believe – that women always held this type of position
3. AS defective man:
we are not against women but they never got finished – b/c they never grew
penis
philosophers
4. opposites
men and women were opposites
women are weak, men were strong
we have to treat them and they can face society - with women
women and men have different traits but they are not seen as valuable
5. Canadian History
early years of Canadian history → settlements were made and group of nuns
came over from Europe – established a colony – administered themselves.
However after time went on, male priests who than took over the leadership
of the colony.
BUT → early years women were able to vote and be al leader but changed
after to restrict them and be seen as second class.
WHY did that happen?
THEREFORE - think of perception of women - talk about equality and
inequality. BUT that we will spend more time on – talk more about similarity
and different.
