Does the way boys and girls are socialised, and the expectations society imposes on men and women, contribute to inequality?

/in /by

Individuals may experience inequality in many different ways. Inequality may exist in the workforce, within the family, in education, in health, in politics and in society more generally, for instance expressed through violence. However, inequality is also experienced in gendered ways (men and women experience inequality differently). Can the perceived differences be simply a matter of ‘nature’, i.e. that men and women are good at, or vulnerable to, different things? Or does the way boys and girls are socialised, and the expectations society imposes on men and women, contribute to inequality? In this essay/presentation you will choose one area in which inequality between men and women has been noted in Ireland or in another state (education, workplace, public/private division, health, political representation, etc.) and explore how the construction of ‘gender’ within this society has contributed towards gender inequality.

How would you respond to the teacher’s question about the boys’ sexual orientation, based on research?

/in /by

Imagine that you are working as a counselor in an elementary school. A teacher has come to you, concerned that a student in her class might have been sexually abused. She explains that she became concerned when two of her 5-year old male students did not come out of the restroom after she called to them several times from the door. When she went in to check on them, she saw the boys facing each other, with Kyle’s pants around his ankles. Brandon was touching Kyle’s penis and both boys were laughing. In addition to her concern about abuse, the teacher is wondering if the boys could be gay.
• As the counselor, explain to the boys’ teacher whether their behavior is indicative of sexual abuse. Remember to reflect on the research you have learned about, and give details to demonstrate why you might come to that conclusion.
• How would you respond to the teacher’s question about the boys’ sexual orientation, based on research?
• What recommendations should you, as the counselor, give to the teacher? Keep in mind research pertaining to the promotion of healthy sexual development by parents and schools.
