1. summary
Humans have long divided gender into dichotomically based on physical differences. So we recognize that it's true and natural because we are given a gender from birth and are taught to behave in a gender-like manner in accordance with our social convention. But it's a social environment, and men can act "female" and vice versa. As perceptions about gender sharing change, more and more people are changing not only their behavior and thoughts but also their physical ones to suit their identity. Also, the manhood and womanhood that we have learned so far are now considered to be increasingly inadequate. A person's behavior patterns and preferences differ from person to person, not because they are of any gender. Therefore, like the previous generation, it is no longer very meaningful to distinguish people by gender and to make them specific.
2. What was interesting/ what did you learn?
According to the text, sexist reasons are among the reasons why women are employed at universities in the United States. Men have an advantage over women when it comes to getting a job. That's why women were a little surprised to find that there were relatively few opportunities to work and therefore the college entrance rate was higher than men. Of course, because it is a graph from a few years ago, it can be different now. This is because people's perception is improving little by little. However, since there are still many discrimination, I thought that we should identify problems such as wages and education and try to achieve equality.
3. discussion point
Efforts towards gender equality are under way, and perceptions have changed a lot. However, while it is still only at the individual level, what other efforts should be made to change sexual discrimination and culture deeply rooted in society as a whole?
