The early memory I have of being taught how to act like a member of my gender was when I was about 7 years old, and I wanted to buy a doll just because I found it attractive but my parents refused it by saying that dolls are for girls and boys do not play with dolls. When I started crying for the doll, they got angry and told me that boys do not cry. This was because masculinity is associated with power, intelligence, and courage and at any cost, they should avoid femininity, i.e. weakness, softness, and vulnerability ADDIN ZOTERO_ITEM CSL_CITATION {"citationID":"72rodmfZ","properties":{"formattedCitation":"(Lorber)","plainCitation":"(Lorber)","noteIndex":0},"citationItems":[{"id":2084,"uris":["http://zotero.org/users/local/H8YOvGFC/items/A3B8294Q"],"uri":["http://zotero.org/users/local/H8YOvGFC/items/A3B8294Q"],"itemData":{"id":2084,"type":"article-journal","title":"The Social Construction of Gender","page":"4","source":"Zotero","language":"en","author":[{"family":"Lorber","given":"Judith"}]}}],"schema":"https://github.com/citation-style-language/schema/raw/master/csl-citation.json"} (Lorber).
I love to dance. When I was in school there an event was organized in which different dance performance was arranged. I also wanted to participate in one of the performance. Teacher selected me in contemporary dance style performance, but my parents refused for my participation just because of the dress. Everyone had to wear frocks while performing and my parents did not want me to wear a female dress. It was the time when I did not want to act according to the gender norms that only girls can wear a dress like frocks. I did not get permission, but I really want to neglect gender norms at that time ADDIN ZOTERO_ITEM CSL_CITATION {"citationID":"jAu7nByy","properties":{"formattedCitation":"({\\i{}Tomi58n9b216amrh42cv5ijm50---Shaw-Lee-Learning-Gender.Pdf})","plainCitation":"(Tomi58n9b216amrh42cv5ijm50---Shaw-Lee-Learning-Gender.Pdf)","noteIndex":0},"citationItems":[{"id":2088,"uris":["http://zotero.org/users/local/H8YOvGFC/items/SIR56Y4H"],"uri":["http://zotero.org/users/local/H8YOvGFC/items/SIR56Y4H"],"itemData":{"id":2088,"type":"article","title":"tomi58n9b216amrh42cv5ijm50---Shaw-Lee-Learning-Gender.pdf","URL":"http://www.docs.writing4money.com/uploads/orders/tomi58n9b216amrh42cv5ijm50---Shaw-Lee-Learning-Gender.pdf","accessed":{"date-parts":[["2019",2,11]]}}}],"schema":"https://github.com/citation-style-language/schema/raw/master/csl-citation.json"} (Tomi58n9b216amrh42cv5ijm50---Shaw-Lee-Learning-Gender.Pdf).
When we enforce gender behavior in society, gender hierarchy reinforces more strongly. Gender develops a process in which people differentiate social statuses for the obligation of responsibilities and moralities. Gender hierarchy ranks men superior to women, and when we enforce gender behavior, this inequality gets stronger in society. Therefore we can say that there is a direct relationship between gender behavior and gender hierarchy. When gender becomes a major factor of inequality, devalued gender get less prestige, power, reward, and economic identity ADDIN ZOTERO_ITEM CSL_CITATION {"citationID":"JD0D5rZZ","properties":{"formattedCitation":"(Shelley et al.)","plainCitation":"(Shelley et al.)","noteIndex":0},"citationItems":[{"id":2089,"uris":["http://zotero.org/users/local/H8YOvGFC/items/63UG9TAM"],"uri":["http://zotero.org/users/local/H8YOvGFC/items/63UG9TAM"],"itemData":{"id":2089,"type":"article-journal","title":"Gendered institutions and gender roles: understanding the experiences of women in policing","container-title":"Criminal Justice Studies","page":"351-367","volume":"24","issue":"4","source":"Taylor and Francis+NEJM","abstract":"Men are disproportionately represented in many institutions including law, politics, the academy, and the economy. Women have made great strides in increasing representation in many of these professions with the exception of policing; where police departments have had difficulty hiring, retaining, and promoting female officers. The available literature on women in policing, however, is largely atheoretical and does not thoroughly address advancement barriers and the retention of women. To address this gap in the literature, this article utilizes Acker’s theory of gendered institutions to provide a historical review of women’s experiences in law enforcement. Acker’s four gendered processes are used to organize the existing literature regarding women’s experiences as well as coping and adaptation strategies in the gendered institution of policing. Finally, implications are explored and an agenda for future research is discussed.","DOI":"10.1080/1478601X.2011.625698","ISSN":"1478-601X","shortTitle":"Gendered institutions and gender roles","author":[{"family":"Shelley","given":"Tara O’Connor"},{"family":"Morabito","given":"Melissa Schaefer"},{"family":"Tobin-Gurley","given":"Jennifer"}],"issued":{"date-parts":[["2011",12,1]]}}}],"schema":"https://github.com/citation-style-language/schema/raw/master/csl-citation.json"} (Shelley et al.).
