The Social Construction of Gender

Read the article The ‘Pink vs Blue’ Gender Myth  and watch the video Gender Identity. After reviewing these resources regarding what it means that gender is a social construct, address the following questions: 

·         What does it mean when sociologists argue that gender is socially constructed? 

·         What is an example of a difference in men and women’s behavior that you feel is rooted in biology rather than socially social constructed?  Be sure to provide evidence from this week’s readings and/or external research to support your argument that this behavior is rooted in biology and is not socially constructed.   

·         Which example from the resources provided did you find most compelling in building your knowledge of social construction?  Summarize the example and explain why you found it most useful.  For more information on how to effectively summarize visit the Ashford Writing Center’s Guidelines for Summarizing Sources 

Your initial post should be at least 250 words in length. Support your claims with examples from required material(s) and/or other scholarly resources, and properly cite any references.
