Hello,
everyone! This time we'll keep on discussing the ideas we shared last Friday: gender roles and stereotypes. The goal is that you try to answer any
of the questions included in the ppt or any interesting concepts we
discussed from the article. The length of your posts should be in no
less than 160 words. Remember to leave comments on everybody's posts.
On your posts you can:
Okay,
Here I go. As I can tell from the article I shared with you, any
society has a set of deeply embedded values and attitudes that are
believed to be right. These values and attitudes constitute the base of
our daily lives. So, it seems to me that if you want to discuss any
issues related to
feminism, there is then a need to understand the importance that gender
roles
and stereotypes, in terms of values and attitudes, play in any
sociocultural context. This much is true if you look closely enough at
how men and women are expected to behave, dress, act, and speak in
Chile. For example, you might find it utterly ridiculous, but macho
stereotypes exerted a profound influence over the way I used to write by
hand when I was a little child. The thing is that I used to have a very
beautiful handwriting style. Another male child, who happened to be in
the same class, noticed that and made a disparaging remark about it:
"you write like a girl". From that moment onwards, I decided to write
like a 'MANLY MAN'. You can actually see the consequence of that unkind
remark anytime I write something on the whiteboard. Gender stereotypes
affect people. Some of them may seem very silly, but they could
constitute unfair treatment or a discriminatory practice towards anyone
who wants to express himself/herself fully.
