blog #2 The Importance of Gender
"Gender is one of the major ways that human begins organize their lives". In the early childhood it is very important to let child understand that he is a boy or a girl. It will help child in his/her future life. Very important for parents to build up a strong base for their children in terms what they are and who they are. Social construction of gender, social work, race, relationship between genders are important factors. It is very important for man to act like a man and for woman to act like a woman. Just the natural characteristic of the sex can be transformed and changed women becoming a men and the opposite. In a daily life we can see that some woman are looking like a man the way they act, communicate and dress. Some woman that do a mans job will develop mens habits and become manlike. Also, man who was raced by women, could act like a woman. It is very important for man to have a strong life experience, such a military school, play some sports, be a father and to play a man's role in the family. Based on the author Judith Labor conclusion, I agree that "sexual difference is itself a fundamental-and scientifically contested-construction".

I agree with you when you write that gender is important but why? Throughout your post you reiterate how important gender is in many contexts-childhood, adulthood, and choice of career/work. But why is it important?
ReplyDeleteLastly, you write "Based on the author Judith Labor conclusion, I agree that "sexual difference is itself a fundamental-and scientifically contested-construction". This is a very interesting statement and connects to Fausto-Sterling's discussion of sex. But I'm not sure how it relates, overall to your post here?
Gender is important, because it determines relation between women and men and their relationship between them. Also, its important for creating a work enviroment. Context to adulthood, childhood and work are important to gender role. Parents are influences on their children. It affects their children's career, future life, personalities, and choosing a proper occupation in the future. Based on the author's conclusion and my point, importance in gender, I agree that " sexual difference is itself a fundamental and scientifically contested constuction." Gender is very improtant in family because it could influence on it success in life. At the end, I would like to say the understanding of gender role is very important to our society.
