Study Notes
Understanding Gender and Sexuality
- Sex: Biological distinctions between males and females; includes primary sex characteristics (genitals) and secondary sex characteristics (features that emerge during puberty).
- Gender Studies: Field examining socially and culturally constructed differences between genders and how these roles are interpreted and negotiated in society.
- Sexuality: Concerns emotional and sexual attraction to individuals.
- Gender Identity: Personal understanding and experience of one's gender, which may or may not align with biological sex.
- Heteronormativity: Framework that defines behaviors as normal based on conformity to traditional gender roles.
- Historical Perspectives: Gender studies evolved from recognizing powerful roles of women in early civilizations to the modern social dynamics influenced by patriarchal structures.
Waves of Feminism
- First Wave: Focused on women's suffrage and legal rights.
- Second Wave: Advocated for pay equality, reproductive rights, and female sexuality.
- Third Wave: Emphasized redefining femininity, celebrating diversity, and the concept of intersectionality.
- Fourth Wave: Characterized by action-based movements aimed at deconstructing gender norms.
Reproductive Concepts
- Gonads: Primary reproductive organs; ovaries in females and testes in males.
- Conception and Pregnancy: Conception occurs with the fertilization of an egg by sperm; pregnancy is the period from conception to birth.
- Menstrual Cycle: Monthly cycle in females that prepares the body for potential pregnancy.
Research Approaches in Gender Studies
- Qualitative Methods: Focus on meanings and interpretations of experiences related to gender.
- Quantitative Methods: Seek to characterize populations and produce generalizations.
- Mixed Methods: Combine qualitative and quantitative approaches for comprehensive understanding.
Biomedical Perspectives on Gender and Sexuality
- Female Reproductive Anatomy: Includes external genitalia (clitoris, labia) and internal structures (ovaries, uterus, cervix).
- Male Reproductive Anatomy: Involves external genitalia (penis, scrotum) and internal structures (testes, prostate).
- Sexual Behaviors: Encompasses a range of activities including copulation and oral stimulation, influenced by sensory experiences and cultural contexts.
Psychosocial Perspectives
- Reproductive and Productive Roles: Societal scripts dictate expectations for child-rearing versus economic activities.
- Self and Other Awareness: Understanding one’s gender identity and how it relates to societal norms.
Gender Stereotypes and Socialization
- Gender Role Socialization: Lifelong process of learning culturally-defined gender roles.
- Agents of Socialization: Include family, peers, education, and media which reinforce gender expectations.
- Gender Discrimination: Unjust treatment based on one’s gender can lead to social and economic disadvantages.
LGBTQIA+ Perspectives
- SOGIE: Encompasses Sexual Orientation, Gender Identity, and Gender Expression, highlighting diversity in gender and sexuality.
- Gender Identity Variations: Categories include cisgender, transgender, non-binary, and androgynous identities, each contributing to the understanding of gender fluidity and inclusivity.
Masculinities and Health
- Impact of Masculinity on Well-being: Rigid masculinity norms can negatively affect men’s mental health; caring masculinity promotes empathy and relational qualities.
- Substance Abuse and Masculinity: Substance use may reflect attempts to conform to masculine ideals or cope with societal pressures.
