If we take as a basis for an explanation of the concept of "gender" in the dictionary, which is interpreted as a "social floor", the very term "gender relations" can be seen as social relations of society, belonging to different biological sexes.Mainly in social interactions are mental personality traits, behavioral characteristics of an individual.
That is, in simple human terms, we can say that gender relations - a non-sexual relationship between the male and the female in the broadest sense of the word.
The new jokes in different Humoresque and ironic monologues that sound throughout the stage and television screens, the issue is being discussed "female logic" and "male logic."These two concepts are opposed, as it were fighting with each other.Although the concept of "logic" here is not the place.Thus ridiculed gender stereotypes behavior.
Gender relations are not conditioned by biological sex and social status of a person, his education, his financial situation, his place of residence.For example, no one is surprised by the fact that the elderly businessman appears young wife or a mistress that does not work, does not study, does not do anything around the house, but constantly gets expensive jewelry and visiting restaurants.This distribution of roles in this category of our society is almost the norm.But it would be naive to assume that in the ordinary rural family is a woman on a weekday walk around in a posh expensive clothes, sleep till noon, and to hire a maid cleaning the house.Here, very different notions of gender roles in life.
In the ancient world the distribution of gender roles in society play an important role because it helps people to survive.The man the proper role of master, and women should subordinate his will in all his wishes.He - was an advocate, supporter and protector, she - a defenseless, dependent and obedient slave.In contrast to the concept of "gender", the modern word "gender" is fully equates a woman with men in all spheres of life, enabling it to take into account gender and study the psychological characteristics, but will not allow to humiliate suspicion of "weakness" of the female sex.
Despite the fact that women have long overcame the main due to the floor internal and external behavioral roles and began to behave more freely in society, engaging not only the household chores, but also realizing yourself as successful professionals obvious is the apparent persistence of stereotypes about more powerful(smart and successful) masculine nature and a weak (flawed) feminine reflected in the language.Pay attention, because the word "professional" or, for example, "librarian" - masculine, but an attempt to call a woman "professional" ("Librarian") sounds like the way to her "masculinize" give it a masculine traits.At the same time, if you convert the word grammatically and add to its root suffix is feminine "professionalka" or "librarian" - the word sounds insulting.This phenomenon has long been fighting in the West, making the necessary changes in the grammar.For example, in the German language all the words related to the name of the profession and have the form of masculine and feminine without fail.
man who allowed a grammatical error and to use against women form words ending masculine risks falling under suspicion as a sexist, misogynist.Innocent (in the opinion of the average Russian citizen) European oversight behavior can have serious consequences.Unobtrusive proposal to seek help from a psychoanalyst is the softest available in the arsenal of combat such anti-social behavior.This is the result of the struggle for gender equality in Europe and a method of preventing violence against women.
At the same time it is obvious to any European ignorance of the majority of our citizens on issues of psychology and gender equality.Ignoring the law on equality between men and women, "the head of the family" in Russia is often considered the norm of behavior to insult, humiliate their "other half."Often these families have the assault and even self-mutilation.Awful is not even the fact that this phenomenon suschestvet and is the indifference with which society feels about him.
However, it is well-established gender stereotypes make our citizens to ignore the fact that violence in the home are often subjected to men from their wives.From birth, boys are taught that girls can not hurt - in fact they are weak.Such gender relations in the family leads to the fact that growing up and getting "under the heel" friend of life, some men sometimes get slaps and insults in public, without being able (above all - psychological) to protect themselves.
In America there are quite opposite problem in gender relations.Known widely for feminist demands full equality.And the reason of application to the court may be that a man passes lady forward in transport or open the door for her.
Thus, the concept of "gender relations" refers to the sphere of social interaction between biological sex and its problems arising from gender studies psychology.
