This two reading talk about really controversial topics that is gender and gender inequality in the workforce and in other aspect as well. The first reading is about sex and gender 101 it really talk about different concepts of biological gender. Biological sex usually refers to the appearance of an individuals external genitalia. Many interesting things has been said in this article because it talks about many things that many people don’t understand and are still confused with gender and sexuality, this article really talks about a topic that usually really confusing to many people including me as well and it’s basically what is a intersex person? According to the article “sex and gender 101” an intersex person is somebody that has female sex chromosomes and female internal reproductive organs but has external genitals that appears male this really made me understand more about sex and gender and sometime biology can be different for every individual. Biological sex is universal because most male go through similar puberty process. Gender is best describe as the social and cultural roles for female and male and how you are supposed to behave depending on your gender. “Gender is basically broken down into three main categories: gender assignment,gender identity, and gender expression”(sex and gender)” in many cultures boys are taught and expected to be strong and aggressive and to not show emotions but on the hand girls are expected to be the opposite of all that, girls are supposed to be soft,emotional, submissive. Gender plays an important role because based on your gender you are expected to act a certain way and it can also make you not have certain things. I can personally relate to gender and how for being a girl i was expected to do certain that were “only” for girls like helped my mom with the house and how i wasn’t allow to play outside because only boys could do that. Overall gender can be describe as the role you are supposed to play based on your biological sex. The second article “feminist politics where we stand” is a article i really enjoyed reading because is a topic i have been really passionate about because this article talk about how many people don’t understand sexism and many believe that is only about women being equal to men but is more than that. They main focus is that women wants women equality equal payment more jobs opportunity to give them the same chance to be successful and not only in the professional environment women also want equality when it comes to house chores and taking care of the children. Feminism is for women to have the choice to decide on things that only concern women like abortion, to be lesbians. Women are becoming more open to discuss this type of topics that can be really controversial. I honestly believe all this decision should be make by women and men shouldn’t be telling women what they can or can’t do with their bodies. Women were also expected to be behind the men and following man. Overall women wanted to change “ to bring an end to patriarchy and sexism”*(where we stand,page 4) this means they wanted to put an end to men being on control and make things more equal in every aspect.
