| | The Parsons model was used to contrast and illustrate extreme positions on gender roles. | | | Gender role can vary according to the social group to which a person belongs or the subculture with which he or she chooses to identify. | | | It is seen by some in that society that such a gender role for a man is not acceptable. |

| | The English noun "gender" is derived from the Old French word genre, meaning "kind of thing". | | | In certain language grammars, for example French and Latin, nouns and pronouns have a grammatical gender. | | | Gender is often, but decreasingly, used as a synonym for sex, referring to the physical polarity of anatomy which is commonly used to differentiate male from female. |

| | Gender has been used in this sense since the fourteenth century. | | | Gender has been in constant use for many centuries in reference to whether creatures are male or female; this use is very common today, and it cannot be considered incorrect, though some people do object to it. | | | These days, the word "gender" seems preferred over the word "sex" when referring to whether someone is male or female, almost as if the word "sex" besmirches the attributes of the person described. |

| | Even if you are not convinced of the need for reforms to reduce gender bias, you ought to recognize that the use of language that has been called out as sexist can sometimes lead to ambiguity. | | | And unlike other political language reforms, which tend to be limited to individual names for ethnic groups, gender reforms involve basic grammatical components like pronouns, basic grammatical rules like pronoun agreement, and basic words like man, father, male and female. | | | Sexist stereotypes, such as the assumption that all nurses are women or that all executives are men, can seem like the status quo—the way the world “is”—especially when you are distracted by a deadline or concerned about some other feature of your writing, such as its organization or its tone. |

| | This being so, how male and female children relate to one another within both same and cross gender social interactions is as likely to have been influenced by commercial performances as by the examples of their peers or even by the model of their family (Bandura, 1966; Smith, 1994). | | | By viewing such commercial content on a daily basis, children are forming ideals and norms of female/male and femininity/masculinity that may actually contradict even the realities of their families and friends. | | | Conversely, girls are most often shown playing with dolls of all sorts, dressing and grooming them in relatively passive manners. |

| | It is disingenuous to pretend that people who use “gender” in the new senses are making an error, just as it is disingenuous to maintain that “Ms.” means “manuscript” (that’s “MS”). | | | Nevertheless, I must admit I was startled to discover that the tag on my new trousers describes not only their size and color, but their “gender.” | | | In some scholarly fields, “sex” is used to label biologically determined aspects of maleness and femaleness (reproduction, etc.) while “gender” refers to their socially determined aspects (behavior, attitudes, etc.); but in ordinary speech this distinction is not always maintained. |
