Explain what is meant by gender binary thinking

Reference no: EM133699445

Problem: I want you to consider the notion of "doing gender." That is, gender is not a fixed set of personality traits, but rather a collection of social constructs that surface in interactions with others. We don't 'have' a gender, we 'do' gender in interactions. We 'do' masculinity and femininity in our everyday lives. In the lecture I talk about what it means to be a woman/man, the notion of gender 'difference,' gender binary ideologies, and non-binary challenges to this thinking of rigid 'difference' between women and men. Explain what is meant by gender binary thinking and what is meant by non-binary identities.
