Making Waves without Rocking the Boat: Women’s Reinforcement of Gender Status Hierarchies as a Protectant against Discrimination

Garcia, Alexander 07 August 2013 (has links)
Research on sex discrimination has found consistent support for the idea that women who violate gender roles by succeeding in male-dominated domains elicit hot forms of discrimination. In particular, evidence suggests that a perceivers' conservatism, which represents a preference against gender change toward greater equality, might motivate this kind of discrimination. Therefore, I hypothesized that perceiver conservatism would predict discrimination against female gender role violators. In two studies, I found evidence that conservatism predicts negative evaluations of targets (Study 1), as well as sabotage (Study 2). In addition, Study 2 revealed that the relationship between conservatism and sabotage was partially mediated by the perceivers' anxiety. However, if the discrimination that conservative perceivers direct at gender role violators is motivated by conservatives' preference against social change toward greater equality, then targets who support gender status hierarchies while they violate gender roles should experience less discrimination from conservative perceivers than those who challenge status hierarchies. Consistent with this reasoning, perceivers' conservatism was negatively related to perceived interpersonal hostility of female gender role violators who expressed support for gender hierarchy. In contrast, perceivers' conservatism was positively related to perceived interpersonal hostility of female gender role violators who expressed opposition to gender hierarchy (Study 1). However, targets' expressions of support for gender hierarchy did not have this effect on the relationship between perceivers' conservatism and perceptions of the target's ineffectuality (Study 1), respect for the target (Study 1), or sabotage of the target (Study 2). Moreover, while supporting status hierarchies reduced perceptions of interpersonal hostility from perceivers high in conservatism, it increased perceptions of hostility from those low in conservatism. Thus, supporting gender hierarchies may appear to help in some contexts, but is associated with significant costs, as well. The implications of these findings for theory and practice are discussed.

The Development of Adult Sex-typed Social Behavior in Lemur catta

January 2012 (has links)
abstract: Unanswered questions about the evolution of human gender abound and are salient across the anthropological disciplines and beyond. Did adult sex-typed behavioral tendencies actually evolve? If so, when? For what purpose? The best way to gain insight into the evolution of human gender is to understand the evolution and development of sex-typed behavior in comparative primate taxa. Captive research indicates that there are many proximate factors likely to shape the development of sex-typed behavior in non-human primates—prenatal and postnatal endocrinological experience, social experience, ecological factors, and their interactions. However, it is largely unknown how sex-typed behavior proceeds and is shaped by those factors in evolutionarily salient environments. This study investigated one—whether extrinsic sexually differentiated social interactions are likely influential in the development of adult sex-typed behavior in wild-living Lemur catta. Little is known about sex-typed development in this species or in strepsirrhines in general. This research therefore addresses an important phylogenetic gap in our understanding of primate sex-typed development. Behavioral observations were carried out on mixed cross-sectional sample of adult females (n=10), adult males (n=8), yearling females (n=4), yearling males (n=4), and newborn females (n=16) and males (n=14) at Beza Mahafaly Special Reserve in southwest Madagascar from September 2008 to August 2009. Twenty-three sex-typed behaviors were identified in adults using linear mixed effects models and models of group response profiles through time. Of those, only eight had a pre-pubertal developmental component. Infants did not exhibit any sex differences in behavior, but juveniles (prepubertal, weaned individuals) resembled adults in their (relatively few) patterns of expression of sex-typed behavior. Most adult sex-typed behaviors in this species apparently develop at or after puberty and may be under gonadal hormone control. Those that develop before puberty do not likely depend on extrinsic sexually differentiation social interactions for their development, because there is no clear evidence that infants and juvenile male and females are not treated differently by others according to sex. If sexually differentiated social interactions are important for sex-typed behavioral development in subadult ,italic>Lemur catta, they are likely intrinsically (rather than extrinsically) driven. / Dissertation/Thesis / Ph.D. Anthropology 2012

Les Femmes et l'éducation dans le théâtre du Grand Siècle:

Jayson, Hayley E. 21 March 2018 (has links)
Notre thèse vise à analyser la représentation de l'éducation des femmes dans le théâtre français du dix-septième siècle. Dans cette période du théâtre néoclassique, on écrivait des pièces dans le style classique avec des thèmes et des personnages qui reflétaient la société de l'époque. Les dramaturges créaient leurs œuvres afin de divertir le public ainsi que d'instruire aux spectateurs comment on devrait se comporter. Nous avons choisi quatre pièces des genres et des thèmes différents afin d'analyser comment les femmes étaient éduquées ainsi que comment elles s'instruisaient. Nous considérons l'instruction dans un sens formel et académique ainsi que dans un sens informel d'apprendre comment se conduire. En analysant les pièces choisies, deux représentations de l'éducation des femmes se voient : celle du personnage féminin traditionnel dont son amour d'un homme la motive à s'éduquer, et celle du personnage féminin non-traditionnel qui se sert de l'éducation pour un but différent. Les pièces choisies favorisent la représentation de la femme qui est motivée par l'amour, mais les personnages féminins qui sont représentés comme non-traditionnels revendiquent leur propre pouvoir en se servant de l'éducation afin d'atteindre leurs propres buts et désirs.

Together and Alone: Intimacy and Alienation in the Age of Competitive Individualism

Monsour, Mitchell 06 September 2017 (has links)
I begin by discussing structural alienation in the United States and its relationship to the pursuit of romantic love. I argue that romantic love is idealized due the lack of community inherent in a competitive, individualistic society; the romantic partner becomes a replacement for the community individuals once relied on for material and psychological needs. Despite the allure of romantic love, the norms and values associated with it often undermine the development of intimacy, as does the larger society in which the relationship is situated. I refer to this phenomenon as the romantic contradiction. I then discuss some of the factors that contribute to the romantic contradiction, such as the commodification of relationships in a market-based economy, impression management in dating, and the role of gender in heterosexual relationships. Central to this dissertation, I investigate the dominant ideology of romantic love by conducting a textual analysis of the ten most popular romantic comedies and self-help books on romantic relationships from 2006-2010. My findings suggest the dominant ideology of romantic love promotes long-term, monogamous relationships as the primary way to meet a person’s psychological and physical needs. Furthermore, the ideal relationship is based on gendered needs and responsibilities: men are expected to provide material and physical protection, while women are expected to provide emotional support and sexual intimacy. The ideology encourages a dependency between women and men and various forms of inequality. It also reinforces individualism in relationships by placing greater emphasis on meeting needs rather than developing intimacy (e.g. knowledge, empathy) for its own sake. I conclude with a discussion of competitive individualism and romantic alienation, and suggest avenues for reducing gender dependency and alienation in relationships.

Tough Guy, Sensitive Vas: Analyzing Masculinity, Male Contraceptives & the Sexual Division of Labor

Kosmo, Kaeleen 25 March 2016 (has links)
A Marxist feminist standpoint positions patriarchy and capitalism as mutually beneficial, thus interestingly situating the new market of male contraceptives (MCs). This project takes an in-depth look at the opinions of 15 young men regarding the use of MCs by examining how Western, heterosexual masculinity informs their attitudes and discusses how a new economic market of MCs may affect current social ideologies about of the sexual division of labor. Because notions of masculinity are essential in perpetuating such ideologies, understanding masculinity as it relates to a new market for MCs is imperative. During a series of focus groups men described this relationship in terms of responsibility, control, sexual pleasure, cost, gendered ideologies, and side effects. As a result of this research, I argue that the emerging market for MCs may simultaneously strengthen power dynamics and restructure labor practices within the sexual division of labor.

Kampen om talutrymmet - en fråga om kön? : En studie om fördelningen av talutrymmet mellan flickor och pojkar i en förskoleklass / The right to speak - A matter of gender? : A study on the distribution of speaking space between girls and boys in a preschool class

Jensen, Sara January 2021 (has links)
Studien syftar till att bidra med kunskap om hur talutrymmet fördelas i en förskoleklass samt hur lärare resonerar kring fördelningen av talutrymmet. Tidigare forskning visar på att pojkarna dominerar talutrymmet. Forskningsfrågorna berör vilket utrymme pojkar respektive flickor får och tar i klassrummet men även hur lärarna själva uppfattar fördelningen. Empirin är insamlad med hjälp av observationer och intervjuer. Resultatet analyserades med hjälp av utvalda begrepp från det socialkonstruktionistiska perspektivet, såsom könskoder, genusskapande, sociala sammanhang och social konstruktion. Resultatet visar på att pojkarna dominerar talutrymmet, både när eleverna själva tar ordet och när de får det tilldelat. I intervjuerna med lärarna framkommer det å ena sidan att de anser talutrymmet jämnt fördelat och å andra sidan att talutrymmet är fördelat till pojkarnas fördel. Studiens slutsats är att pojkarna dominerar talutrymmet, vilket tyder på ingen större förändring från tidigare forskning.

Let it Go: A Critical Comparative Analysis of the Modern-Day Female Protagonist Based on Disney's Frozen and Frozen II

Hannah G Scheffer-Wentz (9764021) 16 December 2020 (has links)
<p>This thesis is a comparative content analysis of the modern-day female protagonists represented in Disney’s newest and highest grossing film series, Frozen and Frozen II. As one of the few major media companies that have captivated a global audience, Disney has supplied fantasy princess narratives for over 80 years. With the new addition of Disney+, classic and modern princess films alike are now available for instant streaming. As the sample represents the newest films in the post-transitional wave of the Disney Princess line, this study aims to reveal what messages are being projected to young, impressionable audiences around the world. Between the third wave of feminism and rising conversations of gender roles and communication, Disney Princess films in particular have been the subject of many conversations and criticisms. Using content analysis methodology with each film, the data identifies gender roles, conflict resolution, and common themes between the six main characters: Elsa, Anna, Kristoff, Olaf, the King, and the Queen.</p>

"Jag bara ser det helt enkelt som att vi har olika roller" : En kvalitativ studie om kvinnans uppfattning av sin tro i The Last Reformation / "I just see it as we have different roles" : A qualitative study of the womens preception of their faith in The Last Reformation

Hultén, Ellen January 2020 (has links)
This study is a qualitative study conducted through interviews with women in the neopentecostal movement The Last Reformation. The study has rested on one main question, how neopentecostal women describe the relationship between their faith in practice and in relation to their gender. The interviews have shown that the women of this study perceive that men and women have different gender roles. The result has has also shown that the women see different gender roles in the bible which they personally practice or wish to practice in their marriage and family life. The study also shows that the movement stands in contrast with the world’s view of roles between the man and the woman.
