What is gender?

The social identity is called gender.

Either of the two sexes (male and female), especially when considered with reference to
social and cultural differences rather than biological ones. The term is also used more
broadly to denote a range of identities that do not correspond to established ideas of male
and female.

Gender is a role and role can be change.

Gender is defined as a classification of a noun or pronoun as feminine, masculine or

neuter. ... Gender is defined as the socially constructed roles and behaviors that a society
typically associates with males and females. An example of gender is referring to someone
who wears a dress as a female.

We show our gender by different ways like dressing, actions, etc.

Gender is fluid. It means that gender can be changed it is not fixed. Like if someone
biological identity is male and it can change its gender into woman or third persons.

What is sex?

Sex is our biological identity.

Sex refers to a set of biological attributes in humans and animals. It is primarily associated
with physical and physiological features including chromosomes, gene expression,
hormone levels and function, and reproductive/sexual anatomy. Sex is usually categorized
as female or male but there is variation in the biological attributes that comprise sex and
how those attributes are expressed.

Sex in not fluid: It means that sex is natural and it cannot change.

Expectation

Expect to perform gender. In the society we gave a role to perform.

Gender performance

Gender performance is the idea that gender is something inscribed in daily practices,
learned and performed based on cultural norms of femininity and masculinity. The idea
of gender as performance was popularized by American poststructuralist philosopher
Judith Butler.

Judith butler

JUDITH BUTLER questions the belief that certain gendered behaviors are natural,
illustrating the ways that one's learned performance of gendered behavior (what we
commonly associate with femininity and masculinity) is an act of sorts, a performance, one
that is imposed upon us by normative heterosexuality.

Deconstruction

Deconstruction is a way of understanding how something was created,

usually things like art, books, poems and other writing. Deconstruction is
breaking something down into smaller parts. ... Sometimes deconstruction looks at how
an author can imply things he does not mean.

GENDER LEARNING SYSTEM

After the birth our learning system starts. When a boy or girl reaches in age of 3
years they learn which to wears. In age of 4 t0 5 years they learn which not to wear or
what people except to him or her.

In age of 7 years they learn that boy play football and girl not play football.

There are so many examples of their learning system from childhood.

What is Agency?

Agency is an ability to think. Like a boy had ability to what to wear or not:

Agency is not only gender construction.

Learning system of child is construction.

 Deconstruction of child ability is impossible because it is natural.

 Discrimination

What is discrimination?

Discrimination is when someone is treated unfairly or differently. Discrimination is

when a person is treated unfairly or badly because the person is one of a particular
group. ... In some countries, discrimination against somebody on the basis of race,
sex, religion, sexual orientation, age, or disability is illegal.

Gender inequality is a result of the persistent discrimination of one group of people

based upon gender and it manifests itself differently according to race, culture, politics,
country, and economic situation. It is furthermore considered a causal factor of violence
against women.

Types of discrimination
 Age.
 Career and parental status.
 disability (including physical, sensory and intellectual disability, work related injury,
medical conditions, and mental, psychological and learning disabilities)
 Employment activity.
 Gender identity, lawful sexual activity and sexual orientation.
 Industrial activity.
 Marital status.
Division of labor
On the assembly line, there was division of labor with workers concentrating on particular
jobs. A very basic example of division of labor could be seen in food gathering. In early
societies, men would be the hunters, women and children would prepare the food and
collect berries

Capitalism

The spread of capitalism meant that the feudal economic system and the power of the
aristocracy in terminal decline by the late 17th Century. The establishment of mass
production, based on the cottage industry, meant England was well on the way
to becoming a capitalist and industrially-based society.

 In factories man and women were working together. But there was difference
of dividing money. If man and women done same work man pays high amount
then the women.
