Differences Between Females And Females

Over the course of history, men and women have be faced with a communication barrier. The differing communication skills between men and women present challenges that can lead to foreseeable problems in relationships. These problems arise out of differing purposes, styles, traits, and emotions that accompany communication between the two sexes. Unless an understanding is reached, these barriers may never be broken down.

The most important piece of evidence that shows the differences in standards between sons and daughters is that parental expectations begin to differ very early. “Parents have differential expectations of sons and daughters as early as 24 hours after birth.” (Witt, n.p.) “6-and-12-month-olds of both sexes prefer dolls to trucks, according to a host of studies. Children settle into sex-based play preferences only around age 1, which is when they grasp which sex they are, identify strongly with it, and conform

First, many flaws can be seen in stereotyping genders. Most people don't actually fit into these labels, and if they do, the opposite gender does as well. Conversely, some people may argue that because of a parent's views or beliefs, children may be brought up to fit into these stereotypes. Even if this may be true in some circumstances, the people that do not fit into these categories must be taken into consideration.

This is called gender socialization, which exaggerates sexual differences physically, experimentally, academically, and psychologically. Most parents are unaware that they play such a large role in creating a male or female child. But they are the first and one of the largest influences on their child. When parents have a female child she is viewed as sweet and gentle. The parents will even hold their daughter closer than they would a son. As they grow older boys are encouraged to explore while girls are kept closer to their parents. They are taught different approaches to many different problems in life. They may not realize it but through their interactions with their children they are encouraging their children to grow into a certain type of person based on their gender. The toys they are introduced to are even gender-based. Toys for males encourage them to develop such abilities of spatial perception, creativity, competition, aggression, and constructiveness. Toys for girls encouraged creativity, nurturance, and attractiveness. Children’s rooms and clothing are specific color: girls are pink and boys are blue. Girls often wear dresses and skirts that limit their physical activity. These types of influences at such an early age lay a foundation for the child’s personality. By the time they reach school age they already have a sense of being male or female. In school peers and teachers enforce these differences even further. (Lips, 1979,

Over time there has been a change in gender success throughout education “coming into the late 1980’s girls were less likely than boys to obtain one or more A-levels and were less likely to go on to higher education however 1990 's there was a sudden reversal girl were doing better than boys and In 2006 10% more females were obtaining 2 or more A-levels than males (Trueman,2016)”. In today’s society feminist’s doubt that the topic in school want girls to achieve less like the model also considers that gender stereotyping may still be in society as boys are believed to fit better in the workforce than girls. The distinction between girls and boys are often sketched on sex and ideas of biology Dr Zuleyka mention that “Sex are the biological traits that societies use to assign people into the category of either male or female, whether it be through a focus on chromosomes, genitalia or some other physical ascription." (Zevallos), Gender does not depend on biological personality it is an idea that describes how societies determine and manage sex categories also determined by what an individual feels and does. Girls are more conscientious and mature while boys are seen as a liability student. A parent who spends less time reading to their son impact their son to achieve a lower grade. Many jobs tend to be dominated by one gender for example nursing which is seen as a female job. Girls do consistently better than boys at all levels and likely to get higher grades

The gender equality issue within our society stems from what children are being taught from the day they are born. Whether it is conscious or sub-conscious children are being taught at an early age the stereotypes of what it is to be a girl or a boy. “Choices about what they will play with or wear are made for younger children and, by the time they come to make their own, they have already learnt what is expected of them and will often behave accordingly.” (National Union of Teachers, 2013, p.3). Educators calling on girls to do chores around the classroom or not allowing boys to play in the family corner they are only help in print these stereotypes into the minds of the children. It has been said that children soak up their social environment like sponges, so by sending out new social messages educators are able to create a

Sex and gender play a big part in american society today and are often misconstrued. These two topics have become progressive as people are starting to express their gender and sexuality in ways other than what is and has been considered the norm. Many people believe that sexuality and gender are synonymous with one another. Gender is socially constructed while sex is biologically determined. In society’s past, Americans often strayed away from discussing controversial topics, but with the rise of different ways of addressing people, it is deemed more important to understand. Along with the blurred lines of gender and sex comes sexuality, who someone is attracted to sexually. When people stray from society’s heteronormative mindset, they are often faced with many more challenges than the average hetero man or woman. People often have the preconceived notion that if something does not concern them, then they should not be involved in it. A person who could be your neighbor, co worker, or even child, may have to deal with the troubles of people confusing their gender identity with their sex. While also facing challenges that deal with the sex of the person they choose to love. Learning the difference between gender and sexuality will open the eyes of many people and see how the two are different but relate to one another very much.

According to an analysis done by Seth Stephens-Davidowitz, for every ten U.S. google search requests about males being overweight, there are seventeen searches about girls being overweight, but in reality, boys are nine percent more probable to being overweight than girls (Gonchar). There are countless kinds of gender double standards in society, including the standards parents hold their children to. It is no secret that parents dream for their daughters to be attractive and their sons to be athletic. How else do these standards become apparent in a child’s upbringing? In an investigative paper, The Gender Double Standards in Parenting Attitudes, Meeso Caponi Ro, William G. Axinn, and Linda Young-DeMarco state, “We differentiate dating, sex, and premarital cohabitation from marital and childbearing behavior to investigate differences within the courtship and family formation domain.” (Axinn). There are different standards for boys and girls when it comes down to relationships and sex as well. Parents tend to be more lenient when it comes to their boy’s romantic relationships and stricter with their daughters. “A new study from Netmums reveals that 88 per cent of mums admitted that they treated their sons and daughters differently despite thinking that this was wrong.” (The Gender). Parents don’t want to admit they treat their kids differently, because then issues of favoritism or unfair treatment can occur, but by human

Another idea I gathered from this article was we shouldn’t be so concerned that boys aren’t doing as well as boys because who are we to judge yes their test scores aren’t as good but that’s no reason to judge. Especially when some males are very intelligent and make more money than women do. I think we are all equal and everyone has the potential to be just as smart as the next one. I don’t think it’s right to say that boys aren’t where they should be I think people just want to have something to make people worry about. The authors conclusions are clearly presented because she tells was we can fix school boys being in a crisis. So that clearly shows that she believes they are in fact in a

Tamora Peirce once said in her novel “The Woman Who Rides like a Man”, “You ride as a man, fight as a man, and you think as a man-" "I think as a human being,". Since the being of time women and men have had set gender roles. A man is to be masculine and without weakness. A woman is to be feminine and delicate. We pass these traits to our children and tell them not to deviate. Even though Boys should be boys and girls should be girls, People should not subject children to gender stereotypes because these stereotypes leads to social and educational anxieties, boys believing they should not show weakness and girls believing that they should only worry about being feminine and obedient Young men should be able to cry and wear pink without being called a pansy and young ladies should be able to cut their hair short and speak out without consequence.

During early childhood, girls and boys spend much of their time in the home with their families and look to parents and older siblings for guidance. Parents provide children with their first lessons about gender. Possible ways that parents might influence children’s gender development include role modeling and encouraging different behaviours and activities in sons and daughters(cite). For example, boys are expected mow the lawn, paint the fence and conduct other physical jobs while women are expected to take care of siblings, clean and learn to cook. Unfortunately to date, girls have not received the guidance required to encourage them to pursue degrees in the stem

Do parents set different standards for their sons than they do for their daughters? Everybody looks down at those who stereotype, but is the blame on the parents? Raising a son to be a hardworking man and daughter to be a loving and nurturing mother-to-be, then saying “it’s not a man’s job to fix the car or problems with the house or the women cook, clean, and shop” is setting the up for stereotyping others when they grow into adults. Who do kids idolize the most when it comes to growing up? Fathers are proud when their son has sex for the first time, but want to “kill” their daughter and the boy she had sex with her first time.

In today’s world, it’s easy to overlook the flaws of society, but this issue should never be overlooked. Mothers are treating their male sons differently from their female daughters. People are more concerned about their daughter’s waistline, and their son’s brain. These kind of things carry on throughout women’s lives. It’s easy to see women and men are treated differently even today, though most people think it’s wrong.

Imagine a little girl playing with her Barbies, while her twin brother is playing with Legos. Both are brought up in the same house with the same rules and have the same education. As they get older the differences become bolder. Why is this? The little girl has to wear make-up and dresses while they boy stays mostly the same. Girls are taught to be homemakers and boys to be leaders. We look at woman as having a moderate height, a small waist, big boobs, nice hair, a great smile, and a personality that doesn’t even have to be there. Boys are okay as they are as long as they are smart, intriguing, and looks don’t hurt either. Why do we view boys and girls differently when it comes to their dreams? Women are more likely to get hired if they are attractive, while men are hired based on their intelligence and leadership skills. Men are also paid more for their career choices. How is it that this is still happening even in the 21st century? Now think of advertisements. Why is it that commercials often show women with little clothing but we show men fully clothed? Why are we sexualizing women and not men, too? Why are women looked at more for appearance than men are? Why are the differences so diverse between the genders? Even in families the stay-at-home-dad is still criticized today. Yes, it’s true that women have a natural maternal instinct which is different than a man’s, but that is no reason to criticize men in such situations. Why is it that the

Our girls are getting the message that boys are better capable of handling different tasks, and therefore, need to be trained by giving them more responsibilities. I bet that Madeline Alberight or Dr. Elizabeth Verba did not accept this philosophy in life. Such methods of thinking reduces a girls self esteem and decreases her chances of getting a higher education and fulfilling goals of becoming world leaders, scientists, inventors, educators or even good mothers.
