  2. How are you today?
  3. In today's video, we're going to talk about variation and
  4. gender roles.
  5. Part one now.
  6. This lesson can be found in the U.

  8. Part one.
  9. Um, this is, of course, Chapter 16, Section three.
  10. Now, please make sure to go to the tutorials that
  11. can help you with the discussion questions, further practice and
  12. challenging questions in the additional resources.
  13. You can find the slide that I used for my
  14. video and in the lesson for more information, of course,
  15. and you will find the pages aligned in the book
  16. for this lesson.
  17. So let's start off together now.
  18. We have the traditional gender stereotypes for feminine.
  19. Usually they describe, you know, women as non aggressive, dependent,
  20. easily influenced, submissive, passive, home oriented, talkative and decisive.
  21. Um, easily hurt, emotional sensitive, you know, cries a lot
  22. kind, tearful and nurturing.
  23. We've heard that a lot.
  24. And as for masculine, which is males aggressive, independent, dominant,
  25. active, not easily hurt, emotionally decisive, tough, um, less sensitive
  26. rarely cries logical, analytical, cruel, blunt and not nurturing.
  27. But that's not always the case.
  28. That's just generalizing them, and that's what we call stereotypes.
  29. In 19 nineties women stayed at the house.
  30. Their main rules were to take care of Children clean
  31. The house have been ready for for when their husbands
  32. come back from work.
  33. That was their job.
  34. Feminists of the 19 sixties in the 1964 Civil Rights
  35. Act passed, which prohibited gender discrimination.
  36. The National Organization for Women and the Equal Employment Opportunity
  37. Commission helped women seek legal aid to fight discrimination within
  38. the workplace.
  39. This was known as Women's Liberation Movement.
  40. General Rules.
  41. Today, women can be more independent and don't have to
  42. rely on men.
  43. And we've seen that position.
  44. Women should have the same opportunities as men but should
  45. not be ridiculed if they want to stay at home
  46. as well.
  47. So it's their choice to be a stay at home
  48. mom or, uh, a mom that is, you know, independent
  49. and goes to a workplace, and she can be both
  50. at the same time.
  51. She can take care of her kids and go to
  52. a job.
  53. Also, the men should not be ridiculed if they choose
  54. to stay at home until they find a job.
  55. Opposing side women who stay at home are just feeding
  56. the cycle and making it harder for women to strive.
  57. Women are supposed to stay at home and clean, and
  58. the man is supposed to support the family.
  59. So see, it's always a controversial issue.
  60. Best perspective, functional ists.
  61. There needs to be gender equality and non one gender
  62. over the other.
  63. Functional IST sees both genders creating an organized society and
  64. traditionalist perspective.
  65. Men prefer women to be submissive and less able.
  66. The roles are specifically designed to bring out the best
  67. qualities of each individual.
  68. They both need to be successful on their own conflict
  69. perspective. Society shows that men are above women, constant battle
  70. of who's smarter or stronger, and this is always going
  71. to be a controversial issue.
  72. So, everybody, we have reached the end of our video
  73. for today.

  75. send me a message through the U.
