Post 2: What is Gender?

Gender is classified to be these groups that categorizes masculinity and femininity. Gender can be seen everywhere, from the clothes sections of stores that labels men and women, boys and girls, to the advertisements of products that displays these clear differences on what is meant to cater towards these gender groups.

Gender can be often seen throughout our society, one of the examples of gender relating to power and privilege is that there is a significant difference of wage between a man and a women receives. To this day, the male gender group has fewer obstacles, especially when it comes to work related matters. For example, the STEM field is heavily male dominated and although there might be a significant number of women who are there too, their skills, which could be at the same level or even a higher level, would be more likely to be doubted than that of their male counterparts. I’m not too sure of who exactly would consider a specific gender to be legitimate. And finally, gender, I believe, is as much of a wide spectrum as sexuality.
