Week 9: Social Construction of Gender

Gender Inequality has affected very greatly on how society has constructed Gender. Gender is used to qualify whether a person can or can't do a certain type of job. It's also used for other reasons in society. Gender has been used to classify people, not because of their sex, but because of their "weaknesses."

Women are considered to be the weaker sex. Therefore, gender comes into play. Society considers that gender should decide on what our place in society is. It also suggest gender should decide on what jobs we should have. All this is due to how society has constructed gender.

I do and don't agree with some of the sociological perspective on gender.
