Document Summary
Begin to understand that out biological sex and how we are suppose to act what is accepted of us as boys or girls. What comes first is understanding our biological sex is permant and unqiue and how we are suppose to act as a boy or girl. Sexual orientation- prefences for sexual partners, evoling before people are sexual active. Masculinity- dominant presence: active, independent, competitive, persistent. Femininity: open to emotions, helpful, sensitive, warm, compassionate. Androgyny: high in masculinity and femininity. Note: tendency is for males to be masculine and females to be feminine that is a cultural value but not a cultural mandate. Males can have a feminine gender orientation. In spite of years and years of trying to find a biological basis for gender orientations the conclusion remains, the differences between males and females are due to social not biological factors. All learning theories are organized around the concept of reinforcement reinforcement= about rewards and puishments.
