PSY 3122 Chapter Notes -Kinsey Scale, Safe Sex, Double Bind
Document Summary
Huge gender component, but what makes it a stereotype is that it is generalized. All men are like this all women do this . Men do all of the work all of the time- they are active, have control. Hidden agenda everything they do is to try and get laid. We think of it has very extreme and very strong, making it seem that they are not responsible or not accountable. Their desire is stronger than them, they cannot control it. This is why people don"t want to see men as daycare workers, babysitters or nanny"s. They want to protect their children from this. Another example: a guy makes a conversation with you at a tim horton"s, we tend to think that they just want in our pants. Its in our language (boys will be boys, raging hormones), we see it in movies and tv shows and laugh. Person becomes a means to something else, or becomes an object.
