Life Orientation: Analysis of results The research I conducted has ultimately disproved my hypothesis that female sexuality is not regarded equally to male sexuality as it is seen as taboo except in the case of conceiving a child whereas for males it is seen as a healthy part of growing up. The results show almost exactly equal responses to questions regardless of the gender in the scenario. In the written results it was seen that if a person believed in the existence and use of the word ‘slut’, they then all said that men can be ‘sluts.’ This furthers the idea that sexism in youth regarding the expression of sexual receptivity or interest, is no longer. Their opinions on the matter is equal for both sexes. Although in the true or false results …show more content…

This can be because of multiple reasons the first being that women experience slut-shaming more frequently that have made them guarded in their freedom of sexuality. This is seen in the written results were females used words such as “condemning, shaming, criticising, de-humanising, targeting and bullying” when asked to explain what the practice of slut shaming is. No one appreciates being treated like this and these influences could have influenced their stance on sexuality. In Source 3 in my literature review it can be seen that women do feel like slut-shaming is “normalized and omnipresent” which is why they feel so restricted. This is furthered by the evidence in the written results that some males did not even know what ‘slut shaming’ is showing how their lives had not been effected by it so they did not pay consideration to it. Secondly, it could be because males have embraced their sexuality …show more content…

Available; https://www.sharecare.com/health/sex-and-relationships/sexual-peak-and-gender.com they have the ability to express it, whereas women only feel this freedom once they have reached a mature age where they can rationalise what they want and how they want to treat their bodies. Therefore it can be concluded that the idea of sexual peaks are a product of social construct rather than genetic

To understand the linkage between sexuality and gender, it is important to reimagine the relationship between sexuality and gender and the rapport they hold with self-identification. Not long ago, sexuality was tied to procreation - becoming the core of one’s identity. Gender had always been tied to biological sex. However, a crisis of gender identity emerged and blurred the gender and sexuality binaries that had become commonplace social facts. A fluidity was created that allowed individuals to not feel the pressure of fitting inside distinct identification categories.

As a male you are taught at a young age to be more assertive and self-assured so that when you become an adult you are able to excel in your career and have a sense of power. 2. If I have sex with a lot of people, it won’t make me an object of contempt or derision. • I agree with this privilege because of how sex is perceived in today’s society. When speaking on sex it’s more acceptable when it comes from a man’s mouth rather than a woman.

Although there are many factors that affect perception of gender roles during sexual intercourse and sexual preferences are unique to each individual there is often an understanding in heterosexual sex that the male plays the more dominant role and the female the submissive role and as identified in the paragraph above there is a general perception that men play the role of the seeker of sexual partnership while women play a passive role. The female role of passivity is also a common feature of scientific literature on reproduction, where the egg is “allocat[ed] the passive, waiting role” (Martin 496), just as a woman is when it comes to courting. These traditional gender roles designate control of dating interactions to men whereas the role of the woman is rarely considered. This designation of control connects to the myth that “women deserve rape”, that by dressingly too provocatively, or being too insatiable women are inducing the act of rape (Benedict 16). According to an article written by a man for the purpose of advising women, “like a wolf notices the scent of its prey, men notice a woman's sexual energy”

Variation in female mate choice can result in the form, direction, and intensity of sexual selection on males (Gillespie, Miller, et al. 2014). These fluctuations in selection may have important evolutionary implications, such as maintaining genetic variation in sexual selected traits (Gillespie, Miller, et al. 2014).

In this course, we discussed many of the underlying questions in research: what is truth, and can it be attained? Can research ever be truly objective? How do our underlying biases shape our research, and how do we deal with this? The majority of these questions lack a definitive answer, as do most research topics, but by discussing somewhat philosophical inquiries weekly, I feel as though I gained a new perspective on my future career in mathematics, particularly statistics. As someone who enjoys collecting and analyzing data, these questions have always been in the back of my mind; however, I enjoyed gaining a new perspective on these inquiries this semester through the lens of sexuality and sexual education, topics that I am also passionate

Sex and Temperament Summary In Margaret Mead 's book "Sex and Temperament" she displays that individuals of various societies contradict the meaning of being brawny versus ladylike. Mead observed three primitive societies to compare their temperament differences. Mead claims that masculinity and feminism are not specific to either gender, but depends on the expectations and social qualities of the individuals culture. If a woman is equal to or better at something than a man, the man will question his own manhood; If a man is better than a woman at something, the woman will judge the man or extremely dislike the man.

According to sexologists John Money and Anke Ehrhardt, sex and gender are separate categories. “Sex, they argued, refers to physical attributes and is anatomically and physiologically determined. Gender they saw as a psychological transformation - the internal conviction that one is either male or female (gender identity) and the behavioral expressions of that conviction” (Sterling 4). Although there are biological differences between the two sexes, but gender roles are socially constructed. They determine how males and females should think, speak, dress, behave and interact with society.

Sex typing obtains sex distinctive characteristics such as various of behaviors, interests, personality traits, and cognitive biases in which to identify the person is becoming more/less masculine/feminine.

Social psychologists claim that same-sex groups and group size are matters which can describe

FILM ANALYSIS I. Summary: “Life was given to us a billion years ago, what have we done with it?” “Lucy” opens with this line and shows an alleged pre-human ape-like creature drinking water from a stream. We then travel forward “billions” of years to modern day China and meet the present-day Professor Norman (Morgan Freeman), talking about Darwinian evolutionary theory. He expounds on the “fact” of Darwin’s theory and states how we are merely cosmic accidents, no different than earthworms and time and passing on our genes is our only purpose. He then talks about his own pet theory regarding humans’ usage of our cerebral capacity.
