Gender socialization is the process of learning the social expectations and attitudes associated with gender. Socialisation itself, marked the beginning of sexism – the discrimination against others based on their gender. Many say, that this bias relates back to the Bible, as it’s said that man (Adam) was created first, and woman (Eve) was created second from one of Adams’ ribs. This strongly implies that male is the more dominant sex and is therefore superior to females. This idea has been practiced throughout history and could be due to the fact, that religion was more prominent in the past. For example, school and education was originally only intended for boys, as women were expected to be homemakers. This, in many ways devalues and degrades women as it suggests they are somewhat incapable of doing anything but raising children. Additionally, this can be seen through the English language and the use of unmarked terms. The word “waiter” an unmarked term referring to a man, has had a suffix added to the end in order to make “waitress” the term for a woman. This form of lexical asymmetry reinforces and gives and insight into how women were degraded and are still being patronized as this particular word is still used in modern society. Some may argue against this, as “stay as home dads” and career women are accepted today and many females hold powerful jobs, however, gender socialization still occurs subconsciously through diverse means, such as schools, peer interaction, the media and parental attitudes – as girls are often brought up performing household chores like cleaning, whereas boys are sometimes required to perform more “manly” tasks such as mowing the lawn.…
