Explain the relationship between gender and social structure in the society.
hi!
according to the gender theory, it is said that both males and females learn to perform their biologically assigned gender through particular behaviours and attitudes. the theory emphasizes on the environmental causes of gender roles and the impact of socialization, or the process of transferring norms, values, beliefs and behaviors to group members, in learning how to behave as a male of female. The theory also proposes that the social structure is the underlying force in distinguishing genders , behaviour is driven by the division of labor between the genders within a society. here one gender in considered to be weaker in any aspect which may be physical, mental or emotional. Thus deoending upon these capacities certain duties and functions are handed over to the particular gender, hence making the social structure a little differentiated and divided fro the genders. every gender and social structure depends on the history of a society and the relationship is greatly effected by the cultures too. indeed all gender roles are culturally and historically contingent, meaning that they cannot be analysed from an outer view without fully understanding their history and culture.
