Question

Lita is challenged by her sociology professor to go for just one day addressing others using gender neutral pronouns that they learned in class. Lita finds that she is constantly slipping up and reverting back to he/she pronouns when talking to others. This illustrates the subtle ways in which _______________ can influence us.

Answer 1

The gender binary ideology

Explanation:

The gender binary is the division between two gender masculine and feminine based on cultural or social factors. Society divides its gender in two aspects. These two aspects determine the role of gender in society. There is another or third gender which does not fall under these two categories called inter-sexuality. The gender binary is the causal factor of gender role or identity. These gender roles are responsible for shaping the behavior of a person in society. According to gender identity, cognitive development occurs. In many cases, many people attribute both male and female psychological qualities. Thus because of gender role in the society, Lita challenged her sociology professor to go out just for one day and pronoun other with a neutral pronoun.
