victims, although there are
more women victims than
men;
Both men and women have a
stake in the struggle
4. Sex and Gender
SEX –identifies the biological
difference between men and
women
• identify and is determined
by reference to genetic and
anatomical characteristics
• is LARGELY unchangeable
5. Gender – culturally and socially constructed roles ascribed to
males and females,
- identifies the social relation between men and
women
- an acquired identity. It refers to all differences
except those that are strictly biological
-GENERALLY, there two types of gender, Masculine and

changed, as culture and society itself is dynamic

9. Gender Roles
Roles - are usually classified by sex,
where these classifications
are social, and not biological.
Example: if child rearing is classified as female role,
it is a female gender role, not a female sex role,
since men and women can do child rearing.
The problem arises when gender roles
are defined in terms of biology or sex
instead of using cultural or social terms.

-Overgeneralized belief in the characteristics
of a person based simply on their gender
Limit the potentials of both men a women
Can lead to:
• Gender discrimination – differential treatment to individuals
on the basis of their gender
• Gender Subordination – describes the secondary position
that women occupy in society in relation men

Child rearing:
Manipulation : handling boys and girls differently even in infants
ex. Pink for baby girl, blue for baby boy
Canalization: people direct children's’ attention to gender
appropriate objects
ex. Choice of toys, toy guns, soldiers, balls,
machine for boys, and dolls, set of kitchen stuff, house for girls.
We are teaching them ( the children) what their prescribed roles
in life will be and familiarizing them of the appropriate tools of the trade.
13. Verbal Appellation : Telling children what they are.
Ex. Strong boy, prim and proper girl and what
expectations others have of them.
(boys don’t cry)
