Gender bias defined:
Gender bias is behavior that shows favoritism toward one gender over
another. Most often, gender bias is the act of favoring men and/or boys
over women and/or girls. However, this is not always true.
To define gender bias completely, we first must make a distinction between
the terms gender and sex. When we use the term gender, we mean socially
constructed expectations and roles for women and men, for girls and boys.
Specifically, girls and women are expected to demonstrate feminine
behavior, and boys and men are expected to act masculine.
By sex, we mean biological differences assigned to females and males to
distinguish between the two. The biological characteristics assigned to
females and males often consist of primary or secondary sex
characteristics.
The term gender bias is often (wrongly) used interchangeably with the term
sexism. Sexism is typically defined as the subordination of one sex, usually
female, based on the assumed superiority of the other sex (Kendall 2005)
or an ideology that defines females as different from and inferior to males
(Andersen & Taylor 2005). Sex is the basis for the prejudice and presumed
inferiority implicit in the term sexism.
The term gender bias is more inclusive than the term sexism, as it includes
both prejudice (attitudes) and discrimination (behavior) in its definition.
Furthermore, the term gender bias could include instances of bias against
boys and men in addition to bias against girls and women. This raises an
important question: Are boys and men harmed by gender bias? While
individual boys and men may suffer at the hands of gender bias, boys and
men as groups benefit from gender bias embedded in our social
institutions.
The narrow benefits of gender bias for some are outweighed by much
broader losses for all (Neubeck & Glasberg 2005). And if gender roles and
expectations constrain both girls and boys and both women and men, it can
be said that gender bias limits the overall development of contemporary
societies.
Paper prompt:
How has gender bias influenced your life?
Describe and give examples of when gender bias was present in your life.
Be sure to apply sociological concepts (gender bias, gender roles, gender
socialization, and gender identity.. This means analyzing your examples
with concepts, not just descriptive ones.
Suggestions to think about childhood-
● How did your gender influence how your room was decorated as a child- what themes were present and colors?
● How were you dressed? types of clothes or specific colors?
● How did your gender influence what toys you had? were you ever
discouraged from playing with certain types of toys?
● How did your gender influence the types of chores you performed
at home? were your chores different from your siblings?
● How did your gender influence how you were treated by parents,
teachers, and peers?
Social Interactions-
● Have you ever questioned a gender bias experience? What were
the results?
● Are you treated differently than folks from the opposite sex?
● Do you have any experience stepping outside of gender norms?
● Has your body been objectified based on your gender identity?
● Can you recall any experiences of peer pressure to act a certain
way or dress a certain way (gender performance) associated with your gender identity?
