Gender identity socialisation
Family
Family buy baby toys that a gender coded
This reinforced what the normal gender stereotype is
Makes 'boys boys' and 'girls girls'
Also affects jobs, girl sgte dolls and believe their role is at home. While me get trains and trucks and believe their job is to be physical.
family buy clothing that is gender coded
Clothing is singed using 'masculine colours' and 'feminine colours'
Lots f baby clothes have predator (lions) on boy clothes and prey (rabbits) on girls clothes.
This reinforces hegemonic thinking, that boys hunt while girls stay at home.
The way that family educate their children
Families have the power to educate their children in a suitable way. however many reinforce the stereotypical man and woman.
Families will tel girls t be quiet when 'boys are being boys' but boys will get told to top crying 'when a girl is emotional'
Educations
Education teaches children what gender roles to follow
Boys play with blocks and tractors, girls get dolls in early years
Boys play football and girls play netball as part of the curriculum. they don't swap.
More girls in social sciences and health, more boys in computing and hands on trade.
Education tells us who we can and cant be.
In school boys are told not to do dance, hairdressing etc, as it seen as wrong. (Links with family and stereotypes) such as boy doin dance makes him gay.
Woman are put off trade jobs and pro jobs in football, due to them being male dominated spaces. Many don't feel safe and education backs this up.
According to Butler, this wouldn't work with gender scripts as we learn froma young age, to behave and act out gender
Education can also work with teacher jobs
Stereotypically, most teachers are woman, this is due to their caring and nurturing ways. Compared to men who were strict.
This is slowly changing, however as children we look up to same sex role modes, meaning if men didn't see male teachers, they wont want to be teachers.
People are more likely to follow gender norms, as its easier to get along with those who are the same gender as us.
Religions
Classic religion tells us how to behave by gender.
Christianity, teaches us that woman should be pure like the virgin mary. Men are special (12 male disciples of jesus)
Many religious families have rules like no intercourse until marriage. Gender roles are made by religious traditions.
Woman are at fault as EVE took the apple at garden of Eden, therefore sin is there fault. Men have to fix it
Other religions such as islam teach gender roles
Women should cover themselves unless home, should be at home to supply for husband etc.
Men should be a natural supplier for their wives.
Religion is one of the biggest teachers of gender roles. Especially because many people hod their religion very close to their chest.
Media
The media teaches us how men and woman should behave.
Classic media such as old sitcoms, have men working hard labour jobs and woman at home
Shows such as coronations street started with the men doing all the hevaily lifting and the woman being there are plot devices.
Children will see these programs and believe that's how the world works.
Children will believe this if parents watch it, socialising the into gender norms
Social media is a massive place for gender socialisation
If a woman sees a powerful woman who works in bricklaying they could be inspired, the same they can be inspired by makeup.
Social media means we can see people of the same identity in different ways. It can change our perspective on gender identity.
Social media is a database of identity, which is a way for us to understand outgendee roles.
Influencers have massive decides on how we see gender.
Influencers such as Andrew tate, influence young men to believe woman are nothing. Where other influencers promote good messages such as feminism
These sorts of influence can decide the way a child will see gender in the future. Along with theirgender allinged behaviour.
This is how we now have toxic masculinity and the 'red pill vs blue pill' argument
