Then respond to the following questions: 1-First, did you learn anything new in this short study? What was it? Is it clear to you that ″sex″ and ″gender″ are two separate concepts? 2-What does it mean when someone says that language is ″gendered?″ Can you give me some examples of language where some object/noun is feminine/masculine/neutral in different languages? 3-What does it mean to say that ″gender″ is a cultural construct? When and where (in what academic fields) did the study of ″gender″ emerge? How was your gender ″constructed″ for you in your own experience-if it′s not too personal! I can tell you an example from me from becoming a dad and shopping for toys for my son and being astonished that there is a ″pink″ aisle in just about every toy section of big box retailers! It was clear to me that that aisle was for girls toys and not boys! I really struggled with my own emotional reaction to simply even standing in the aisle considering whether any of these toys would be ″suitable″ for my son! This experience tells me how ″embodied″ our experience is to what is supposed to be ″masculine″ or ″feminine!″ Even when I choose a pink t-shirt to wear, I really feel like I′m stepping out on the ″wild side!″ Check it out…from my teenage years! So good! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oG6fayQBm9w
