ARTICLES RELATED TO Gender role | | | |  Gender role: Encyclopedia II - Gender role - Gender roles and feminismMost feminists argue that traditional gender roles are oppressive for women. They assume that the female gender role was constructed as an opposite to an ideal male role, and helps to perpetuate patriarchy.
For approximately the last 100 years women have been fighting for equality (Especially in the 1960's with second-wave feminism and radical feminism, which are the most notable feminist movements) and were able to make changes to the tra ...

| | | | Gender role: Encyclopedia II - Gender role - Culture and Gender roles
Ideas of appropriate behaviour according to gender vary among cultures and era, although some aspects receive more widespread attention than others. An interesting case is described by R.W. Connell in Men, Masculinities and Feminism:
"There are cultures where it has been normal, not exceptional, for men to have homosexual relations. There have been periods in 'Western' history when the modern convention that men suppress displays of emotion did not apply at all, when men were demonstrative about their feeling for their friends. Mateship in the Aus ...

| | | | Gender role: Encyclopedia II - Gender role - Transgendered and Intersexed people As long as a person's perceived physiological sex is consistent with that person's gender identity, the gender role of a person is so much a matter of course in a stable society that people rarely even think of it. Only in cases where, for whatever reason, an individual adopts a gender role that is inconsistent with his or her perceived gender identity will the matter draw attention. When an individual exhibits a gender role that is discordant with his or her gender identity, it is most often done to deliberately provoke a sense of incongrui ...

| | | | Gender role: Encyclopedia - Gender In a variety of different contexts, gender refers to the masculinity or femininity of words, persons, characteristics, or non-human organisms. The classification into masculine and feminine is analogous to the biological sexes of male and female, often by physical or syntactical analogy, linguistic decay, misunderstandings, societal norms, or personal choice. The nature of this categorisation varies depending on the context. For example, gender can be used to refer to the differences in biological sex betwe ...

| | | | Gender role: Encyclopedia II - Gender identity - Formation of gender identity The formation of a gender identity is a complex process that starts with conception, but which involves critical growth processes during gestation and even learning experiences after birth. There are points of differentiation all along the way, but language and tradition in most societies insist that every individual be categorized as either a man or a woman. When multiplicity is arbitrarily reduced to absolute dichotomy, conflicts are sure to result.
When, for instance, the gender identity of a person makes him a man, but his genital ...

| | | | Gender role: Encyclopedia II - Gender roles in Islam - Mosque The Mosque, or Masjid, is another area in Islamic societies where gender differences take a role. At the time of Muhammad, the women praying were at the rear of the building while the men were at the front, however they would have been within earshot of the imam, and any men entering would have had to pass them. A saying attributed to Muhammad says "Do not forbid the mosques of Allah to the women of Allah"[14]. Also, on Hajj, men and women pray side by side. In most modern mosques, however, women and men are completely segregated into separa ...

| | | | Gender role: Encyclopedia II - Gender roles in Islam - Family In Islam, great importance is placed on the family unit. Indeed, the Muslim Prophet Muhammad is believed to have stated that "Marriage is half of faith." Several hadith also maintain that the "beautiful conduct to parents" is second in importance only to prayer and worship.
On this subject, the Qur'an states: "Your Lord has decreed that you worship none but Him, And that you be kind to parents. Whether one or both of them attain old age in your life, Say not to them a word of contempt, nor repel them, But address them in terms of h ...

| | | | Gender role: Encyclopedia II - Sexism - Language It has been argued that language plays a part in sexism, though it is disputed whether certain language causes sexism or sexism causes certain language (see the Sapir-Whorf Hypothesis). At the most trivial level, sexist jokes play a part in the acts of many comedians, both male and female. Another example is gender-neutral language — the avoidance of gender-specific job titles, non-parallel usage, and other usage that is felt by some to be sexist. Opponents of such ideas often dismiss them as "political correctness gone mad."
