Gender Expression: This refers to the external presentation of gender through behavior, clothing, haircut, voice, and other forms of presentation. Gender expression can be masculine, feminine, androgynous, or any combination.

Biological Sex: This is determined by physical attributes such as chromosomes, hormone levels, and reproductive/sexual anatomy. Typically categorized as male, female, or intersex.


2.learn

There are many genders, including male, female, non-binary, and other culturally specific identities.

The increasing phenomenon of misandry, or dislike of men, among some women can be attributed to several social, cultural, and personal factors. Here are some reasons that help explain why more women may express negative feelings toward men:

-Patriarchy: Long-standing societal structures that favor men and marginalize women have led to systemic inequality, discrimination, and oppression. Women have faced limitations in various aspects of life, including careers, education, and personal autonomy.

-Gender Discrimination: Persistent experiences of sexism, harassment, and gender-based violence can lead to frustration and resentment toward men, who are often seen as the perpetrators or beneficiaries of these inequities.

-Feminism: The feminist movement has raised awareness about gender issues, empowering women to speak out against injustices and challenge traditional gender roles. This awareness can sometimes manifest as criticism of men and patriarchal systems.


3. question

What are some effective strategies to bridge the growing divide between men and women in modern society, fostering mutual understanding and cooperation instead of perpetuating antagonism and hostility?

    You have a good understanding of gender, especially the negativity of women towards men. But we need more mutual understanding and co-operation if we are to solve this problem. Men and women need to work together to break down gender bias and promote equality. This requires a lot of effort such as: education, advocating for equality, providing support and resources, and creating an inclusive environment where everyone is free to express their gender identity without discrimination.

Introduction to the blog

This blog is a digital forum where students from Spring 2024 class in Invitation to Sociology at the Hanyang University in Korea will discuss their weekly readings and activities. Each week you are expected to post a blog post on at least 3 pages worth of the readings assigned for next week on our blog (here)  and make a comment on another student's post. As you are expected to do the assigned readings FOR the lectures they are assigned to, you are expected to post your blog and comments BEFORE that lecture. Deadline: Saturday midnight, for main blog posts and Sunday, midnight for comments. Exception: blog posts for the first week can be posted during the first week of class as if they were for the second week. An ideal commentary should be about a third of a page in length (~200 words), divided into three clearly labeled sections in which you: 1) summarize in your own words of materials you read; 2) mention any new, interesting, or unusual items learned; 3) identify at least one q

Why are boys louder than girls? - Kim yeonhee (김연희)

  1) Summary Humans survive by learning the culture of the groups they belong to through social experiences. Throughout their entire lives, individuals undergo a process called socialization, which significantly influences their beliefs and behaviors. This applies not only to children but also to adults. Through socialization, individuals learn and develop beliefs and behaviors considered moral within their affiliated society, shaping their own values accordingly. Primary socialization occurs as children are influenced by their immediate family and friends. If they are exposed to discriminatory views about certain groups, the child may develop discriminatory attitudes towards those groups and believe that such behavior is acceptable. Secondary socialization occurs within larger society. Typically experienced during adolescence or adulthood when individuals encounter new environments and societies, secondary socialization is encountered. For example, in school, unlike at home, there are

It was also interesting to find that many sociology majors were satisfied wi
