Should Gender Stereotypes be challenged?
RE: Should Gender Stereotypes be challenged?
(January 19, 2016 at 3:49 am)pool the great Wrote: 1. It can be scientifically proven that men have a higher testosterone in their body which are the reasons for their aggressive and competitive nature.

That is one reason, and not necessarily exclusionary.

Look at some animals, like say - dogs, no one taught them how boy dogs should behave or how girl dogs should behave - they have no society to impose "stereotypes" on them, yet they project distinctive characteristics that categorize them as a male and female.

Do they? Do you have studies demonstrating that male dogs are more aggressive than female dogs?

I think the issue is probably a little more complex than you seem to think. Human behavior lies at the nexus of phenotype and social input.There are certainly gender-based differences that likely affect the psychology of both individuals and groups of individuals.

However, arguing that because societies, for whatever reason, erect stereotypes, is no reason to laud those stereotypes, or even assume they are correct without examination deeper than what you seem to have performed.
