This document discusses the roles of biological and social factors in determining gender behaviors. It argues that from birth, society strongly influences gender through labeling infants by sex and associating pink with girls and blue with boys. While sex is a person's biological status, gender involves the attitudes and behaviors associated with one's sex by a given culture. Toys and jobs are also strongly divided by gender through social norms. The document suggests that socialization plays a major role in shaping gender roles and behaviors.
Stereotypes start very young... Through clothes, toys, children books or movies, we already trap our children in rigid boxes. Even our verbal or non verbal communication towards them is biased. How can we be more aware of it and challenge this limiting conditioning?
How do we raise our boys? Which impact does it have on their emotional and physical health? Which initiatives exist to challenge the traditional vision of masculinity?
Sex is good, healthy, natural. And yet, we managed to transform the act of making love and babies in one of the most sinful activity on the planet.
Our sex education is now mostly done through male-gaze porn.
Lingering myths about menstruation and sexuality lead to terrible consequences. And women even experience an orgasm gap!
So how do we shift the sex balance? How do we promote more sex positivity and happiness?

Introduction
Violence against women (VAW) has become a central issue in the discourse of the international women’s movement in the 21st century. Women’s networks in the South Asia have taken up wide range of issues concerning violence against women (VAW) in their personal lives as well as against the systems perpetuating it. “Personal is political”, a slogan popularised by two decades of women’s movement in the last century signifies consistent campaigns against all forms of violence in women’s intimate/personal and public/societal lives. Social construction of masculinity in the region is defined by cultural nationalism, jingoism and militarisation of the economy as well as ethnic/caste/religious chauvinism in the context of worsening economic crisis due to liberalisation, privatisation, globalisation(LPG). Escalating fundamentalist backlash in the South Asian countries takes the most barbaric form in terms of wide range of violence against women at different stages of their lives, from womb to tomb. Moreover, as a result of modernisation and commercialisation of subsistence economies, family-ties have become less supportive. Increasing intra-state, inter-state and cross country migration as well as trafficking of women and girls has a sole purpose of SEXPLOITATION-ferocious and complete control over their sexuality, fertility and labour. Cut throat competition among the nation states have increased work-burden drastically due to shift from just-in-case approach to just-in-time approach to meet the targets of production at the cheapest possible cost.
During the eighties, women’s rights organisations mushroomed in the South Asia in response to varied manifestations of VAWG by the state apparatus and in the civil society in the form of anti-women family laws and customary laws, communal carnage, sexual harassment at workplace and assaults on individual women in the family and in the society. They organised rallies and demonstrations, sit-ins and conventions, seminars and conferences, which culminated into politics of protest movements and petitioning. In the 1990s, the women’s groups consolidated their base by finding their allies in the state apparatus and created their institutional base and shelter homes of women and children victims of violence. Now, it is accepted by all progressive forces that “Women’s rights are human rights”.
The Lancet Series on Violence Against Women and GirlsTheLancetWeb
Every day, millions of women and girls worldwide experience violence. This abuse takes many forms, including intimate physical and sexual partner violence, female genital mutilation, child and forced marriage, sex trafficking, and rape. The Lancet Series on Violence against women and girls shows that such abuse is preventable. Five papers cover the evidence base for interventions, discuss the vital role of the health sector in care and prevention, show the need for men and women to be involved in effective programmes, provide practical lessons from experience in countries, and present a call for action with five key recommendations and indicators to track progress.

Key Points for Jackson Katz’s “Tough Guise”
For the most part, Violence is a men’s issue.
But violence against women is made into a women’s issue rather than a men’s issue.
When people talk about violence against women, men are never mentioned. It’s like the violence that men
inflict upon women “just happens to them.” When women are raped assaulted and abused and the words
“by men” gets left out.
Social commentators focus on how to help the victims rather than how to stop the “male” perpetrators.
In this way, the power of dominant groups is concealed. The Dom ...
Gender Studies is an interdisciplinary field that focuses on the complex interaction of gender with other identity markers such as race, ethnicity, sexuality, nation, and religion. Gender— femininity and masculinity—is such a basic form of social organization that its operation often passes unnoticed.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

Honest Reviews of Tim Han LMA Course Program.pptxtimhan337
Personal development courses are widely available today, with each one promising life-changing outcomes. Tim Han’s Life Mastery Achievers (LMA) Course has drawn a lot of interest. In addition to offering my frank assessment of Success Insider’s LMA Course, this piece examines the course’s effects via a variety of Tim Han LMA course reviews and Success Insider comments.
Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.
3. YES, ABSOLUTELY!
➤ Society starts to label your gender from the day you are
made
➤ “Is it a boy or girl?”
➤ once the parents know the sex of a child the child is
instantly labeled
➤ Pink for girls
➤ Blue for boys
4. Sex vs. Gender:
➤ “In scientific discourses and
everyday beliefs, western thinking
has understood gender (sex) as the
natural outcome of sexual anatomy.”
➤ Sex: person’s biological status
(male, female, or intersex)
➤ Gender: attitudes, feelings, and
behaviors that a given culture
associates with a person’s biological
sex.
➤ gender-normative: behavior that
society sees as acceptable that
matches sex and gender
➤ gender non-conformitve: behavior
society sees as not acceptable that
does not match the sex and the
gender
5. WHAT IS INTERSEX?
➤ A person is born with a
reproductive or sexual
anatomy that doesn’t fit in with
the typical definitions of female
or male
➤ Pretty much, a person may
be born with genitals that
seem to be in-between
➤For example, a person might
be born appearing to be female
on the outside, but having
mostly male-typical anatomy on
the inside
7. ➤ Because advertisements and stores
categorize toys by the sex of a child,
girls cannot build Legos or play with
cars, and boys cannot play with
barbie or like to design clothes.
➤ “..women are by nature more
nurturing, emotional, patient, and less
intelligent than men, and that women
are physically the weaker sex, have a
long history.”
➤ Women's primary purpose in life: to
reproduce
➤ Men: to succeed in "production"
(making money) and protection of
women: physical strength,
intelligence, and courage
8. ➤ Peggy Sanday (1981) found that sexual
violence against women is related to
constructions of masculinity and
femininity in a number of societies.
➤ She found no incidence of rape, for
example, in the ancient Ashanti
kingdom of West Africa where women
were highly respected and influential
members of the community.
➤ “ In societies like the United States,
where men and boys are encouraged to
be tough and aggressive and violence
is tolerated, rape is prevalent. Violent
sexual relations also can be found in
societies in which the construction of
masculinity calls for competition among
men”
9. ➤ In Cinderella, who brings her out of rags and into riches?
Prince Charming. The trope presented in fairy tales across
the board is of a charming prince, saving the princess who is
desperately in distress. Fairy tales, through the use of
assigned, subversive, unavoidable vulnerable states to each
of their female protagonists, directly imply that women will
only be successful, that is, having attained a man, when they
are beautiful victims. Although each female protagonist is
beautiful, the paradoxical nature of the story dictates that
they must be victims who do not argue with their victimhood.
This is to say that they must be victims in order for the prince
to save them, and they must be beautiful and submissive in
order for the prince to be willing to save them. If these
characteristics are not fulfilled, there would be no prince, and
each protagonist would not have a chance to attain the
prince, as shown in the Charles Perrault versions of
Cinderella and Beauty and the Beast.
10. THE IMPACT OF TOYS ON
TODAYS’ JOBS➤ Infrastructure
➤ Jobs that are created mostly
for men
• 2008 recession millions of jobs
were lost
• President Obama came into
office and invested federal
dollars in infrastructure to create
a ton of jobs
• But, where did this leave the
women?
Are most infrastructure jobs predominately for
men because society raised men to reach for these
kinds of jobs while women stayed at home?
