    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.

    Violence and Marginalization

    • Violence Against Women: Includes acts designed to instill fear and control women, often rooted in gender inequality.
