Ideas for Teaching about Gender Stereotypes – FamilyConsumerSciences.com Lately there’s been a lot of commercials and public service announcements about gender stereotypes. Any teacher wanting to incorporate this topic into their curriculum would most likely want to choose the best ideas and pull together their own version of a lesson. With that in mind, I thought it would be a good idea to pull together a variety of resources I’ve found that I thought we be great to use when teaching about this topic. However, if you have a unique way of teaching this topic or just a great activity or project, I’d love for you to share it at Kim@familyconsumersciences.com Set Write the headings “BOYS” and “GIRLS” on the board and ask students to brainstorm as many characteristics associated with being each gender as they can.

La Manif Pour Tous défend les stéréotypes de genre Pondu par Lady Dylan le 14 janvier 2014 La Manif Pour Tous dévoile ses intentions : conserver les stéréotypes de genre. Et un truc bizarre avec les escargots. On pensait que La Manif Pour Tous avait touché le fond avec leur oiseau en lycra titubant piteusement entre « papa » et « maman ». C’était oublier ce bon mot d’Einstein : « Deux choses sont infinies : l’univers et la bêtise humaine. Conscients que l’opposition au mariage pour tous était vouée à s’essouffler après l’adoption de la loi, les anciens disciples de Frigide Barjot ont trouvé un ennemi plus global : la théorie du genre (vous savez, celle qui n’existe pas), ou « théorie du djendeure », à dire avec l’accent anglais comme ça, ça sonne bien « pas-de-chez-nous ». Insistons sur le mot « stéréotype » : « Idée, opinion toute faite, acceptée sans réflexion et répétée sans avoir été soumise à un examen critique. » (TLFi) pic.twitter.com/okxWWga5oj— Romain Santandrea (@30septembre) 14 Janvier 2014 Difficile de faire plus clair.

California Junior High Principal Apologizes For Not Warning Parents About Pro-Homosexual Program for 8th GradersBy Penny Starr, Senior Staff Writer (CNSNews.com) – The principal and a teacher at Goleta Valley Junior High School in Santa Barbara County, California are apologizing to parents for not following school district policy relating to a pro-homosexual workshop given to 8th grade students in a leadership class at the school.

But That’s a Girl Book! | Ed Magazine The more Joseph McIntyre, Ed.M.'10, Ed.D.'17, read to his baby daughter, the more he realized that most of the books were about boys — to the point that he began to switch the genders of main characters. “It made me wonder how things looked in children’s literature as a whole,” he says. While a student in the doctoral program, McIntyre began analyzing existing research. Previous studies found ratios of male-to-female central characters in picture books of 1.5:1 to 2:1. However, he realized these studies had treated all books in their samples equally. He was right. “That means that almost four out of every five books that kids read have male central characters,” he says. McIntyre wanted to take the study one step further and see who was actually reading what. What he found was that boys check out books with male central characters much more than girls. “Similar to how being a ‘tomboy’ is less stigmatized than being a ‘sissy,’” he says.

Except we can. Why do women live longer than men? Women experience higher stress, more chronic disease, more depression, more anxiety and are more likely to be victims of violence. Women earn less than men, and in many countries they don’t have the same human rights as men. Despite the social inequality women experience, they live longer than men. This is the case without a single exception, in all countries. For instance, in the U.S. in 2015 female full-time workers made only 80 cents for every dollar earned by men, indicating a 20 percent gender wage gap. Even in countries with larger wage gaps or extreme gender inequalities, women live longer than men. As a researcher who studies cross-country and gender differences in health, I am always fascinated by how the intersection of these factors influences health. Is it basic biology? Gender refers to social aspects of being a woman or a man such as social stress, opportunity and social expectations. Sex, on the other hand, refers to biology. Women are more health aware Suicide
