Compare gender, sex, and gender roles, and give an example of each.
What will be an ideal response?
- Gender refers to one's sense of being female or male. Chris's internal cognitive representation of herself as a girl illustrates this concept.
- Sex refers to sexual anatomy and sexual behavior. When Chris sees his penis it reminds him that he is biologically male.
- Gender roles are culturally prescribed expectations about "typical girl's" or "typical boy's" activities and behaviors. A boy preferring to wear skirts or a girl who enjoys playing football would be seen as violating their respective gender roles.
