Gender versus Sex
• Sex – Biological; male/female reproductive parts -> what you are born with
• Gender – Cultural, masculine/feminine; expression of sex
- We think about gender as binary – but is it really?
- Gender is not a fixed category, it can shift depending on time, geography, influences,
etc.
Gender is socialized – how does this happen?
• Parents – It’s a oy! It’s a girl!
• Peers
• School
• Religion
• Media
• Politics
