Document Summary
Humanities, science, history all are apart of approaching. Understand how law and gender are socially constructed. Law creates limits on women do and what is considered appropriate conduct, something that is constantly shifting. Gender= is social construct and deals with masculinity femininity. Sex= is biological or anatomical apparatus -physical traits, sex organs, chromosomes, chemicals/hormones (male/female) Beliefs about delicate women"s nature kept them from playing sports because they sought out that to be an unfeminine thing to do. Socially constructed beliefs of men not being suitable parents. Deprived fathers to having joint or sole custody. Michael kimmel said two way to explain gender and equality are: from moment of birth, males and females are treated differently. Gradually we acquire the traits, behaviors, and attitudes differently . we are not necessarily born different, we just adapt to it because of socialization. What were born with vs. what we are surrounded with.
