Talk:Sociology of gender

message: I added a citation to the Introduction as they referenced the debate on the construction of Gender, wether it be a social Construct or Biological one, but the statement lacked evidence. I referenced Sexing the Body by Anne Fausto-Sterling, hopefully she is a proper source. I feel the rest of the article is lacking content in some sections, and is in dire need of more citations. I will come back to the other sections and see if I can add relevant academic based sources. AlexEdmonds ([User talk:AlexEdmonds|talk]]) 20:11, 20 September 2016 (UTC)

thread_title:  Antifeminist theory? 

message: I am interested in editing this article and doing further research into the sociology of gender. I have compiled a couple sources that I believe will give me insight to the information I require to conduct proper research. One of the sources I chose to use is a acamdemic journal and summary called "Theory on Gender/Feminism on Theory".Rosenfeld, Rachel A. "Theory on Gender/Feminism on Theory." Social Forces 72.1 (1993): 285+. Opposing Viewpoints in Context. Web. 23 Feb. 2016 With this journal and the other sources I have chosen I will be inserting factual as well as opinionated research into both sociology and gender. I will try to approach but subjects from their respective angles but ultimately diagnose the subject as a whole.

replies: text: Rene, although this is a fascinating topic, I do not think you should edit the sociology of gender.  As I've said several times in the course, your task is to find a stub article with very little written on it.  You will have an extremely hard time adding useful content to this Wikipedia page.  Please find a different topic to edit.  Alfgarciamora (talk) 13:28, 24 February 2016 (UTC)

message: The Lead paragraph needs a rewrite. The Lead should be a summary of what the article is about, and should not contain any new information not already present in more detail in the article.  
I've shortened the Lead considerably, moving most of it into a new, Introduction section, but what remains of the rump Lead paragraph still has material not contained in the article.  The Lead should be entirely rewritten as a proper summary of the article.  Please see WP:LEAD for guidelines.  Mathglot (talk) 22:39, 18 July 2016 (UTC)

message: I am a student in a Women and Gender Studies course and I am interested in editing this article for my class. I have added a few sentences in the Family section, since it previously only consisted of a link to a different article. In order to make this contribution, I cited a source entitled, "Parental Influence on Children's Socialization to Gender Roles". I feel that family's influence on gender socialization is an important aspect of the sociology of gender that is currently not equally represented in this article.

thread_title:  Developing the Family Section 

message: I am planning to contribute to the '"Gender and socialization" section of this article. I would also like to relocate the "Family" section, seeing as this type of information is included in the "Gender and socialization" section as well as the "Gender and psychoanalysis" section. My plan is to add some general information about gender socialization in childhood from more modern studies than those cited in "Gender and socialization", including analysis of parental and sibling influence on gender roles. I also intend to add information from modern studies on atypical households and the effects that these environments can have on a child's view of gender.Tidwell, Jada Annette. “Gender Development in Children with Atypical Parental Socialization: An Example of Lesbian Feminist Mothers.” Georgia State University, US: ProQuest Information & Learning, 2002. There are also relevant studies that I would like to include regarding children's media and how these outlets reinforce normative gender ideas that are often taught within the home.  
If anyone has any suggestions, comments, or concerns regarding this contribution, please let me know.Fiktpihfystl29 (talk) 16:58, 15 October 2017 (UTC)
thread_title:  Gender and Socialization Contribution 

message: This article could be called sociology of gender roles and not sociology of gender.  Because how gender article explains gender as a much broader generality between roles, identity and expresión, while gender roles refers in particular to the learning of social norms. However, I also have an objection to this definition of gender, because if gender includes gender roles, ¿what are gender roles really? From my point of view that if we understand gender as a social construction, we must understand its socialization as an interiorization of certain social expectations about what it is, and not as learning about what toy girls and boys carry or as a feeling as proposed by the original idea of ​​gender identity. Gender identity is assumed because during socialization certain ideas of femininity or masculinity are transgressive or affirmative, respectively.  So, for example, I can be a cis woman and feel comfortable with masculinity, but it would still be a transgressor for me and for society (for example, as a woman, failing to comply with femininity, being the expectation that I have internalized, would be transgressive). I can also be a transgender woman and that femininity is affirmative to me but I still have a masculine gender expression. Or vice versa in the case of men, that femininity is transgressive for them because they internalized masculine expectations. The gender dysphoria exists precisely as a result of this, that being a woman society can perceive us as men, and that even being women we were raised with the idea that we belong to our gender assigned, similar to the david-raymer case, and it is something that trans people always experience. Being transgender is that if you were assigned a woman and you are not a woman, you are trans. If you were assigned a man and you are not a man, you are trans. That your gender does not match the assigned one, come on.  And the testimonies of trans people agree with this (example: trans people gender variance in rols term). While the gender (what makes you a man or a woman) would be this. Biological sexuation or sex would be something real (And for this HRT exist), however, this does not mean that the ideas of masculinity or femininity derive from it. No one denies, for example, that a trans woman can have a penis if she hasn't had surgery, but rather that terms are harmful, that they define my anatomy and sexual characteristics as "male". While gender roles are how society perceives that we should perform certain activities because of our gender. 191.113.80.25 (talk) 18:44, 20 September 2022 (UTC)

message: The sentence “Men are constantly performing this to prove their status as men” in the Masculinity section should be reworded to “Men are constantly pressured to perform to this form of masculinity through their own societal expectations, which only deepens the structure of gender socializations.” It is not always a “want” kind of behavior, but a societal expectation to perform masculinity in such a way. In the Gender and Violence section, the paragraph “Violence affects the lives of…worthy objects of violence” should be supported by why societal gender norms shape violence to be enacted in such a way. For example, women are socialized to be subservient to their husbands and to be the stay-at-home mother while the men are the breadwinners. This results in unequal financial contribution to the household, and therefore more economic power to the men. There are some sources that delve more into hegemonic masculinity and the societal gender norms.
