W10 : Posting Gender and Sex by Jihye Um


In Wikipedia, we have come to deal with Gender and Sex.
Gender and Sex can be thought of as the same meaning at first.
I also thought gender and sex were the same.

However, in this article learned that they have different meanings.

Sex is a word that has biological meaning.
That is why XY chromosomes and XY chromosomes are divided depending on whether we are male or female.

In cotrast, gender is not simply a biological distinction.
Gender is a word related to society.
Since we are young, educated that a symbol of masculinity and a symbol of femininity.
This distiction is achieved by growing up as defined in the birth, unlike biological classification.

They learn and grow as they distinguish between male and female
For example, a man needs a blue color and girl needs a pink color.
Also, men like roboteu play, but women love to play doll games.

This lets us know that we are influenced by the social implications of gender segregation.

There are many theories about this gender.
Among them, conflict theory was the most interesting.
The theory assumes that men have a relatively stronger power relative to women and have a higher status in relation to their society.

In the past, there were times when women had no right to vote even though they were in the same race.
Everybody claims that equality is equal nowadays, but gender inequality still exists in our society.
For example, in society, even though the same ability is in company, men can get promoted faster than women.
We must strive to improve the inequality in this gender.
