Question

Going out on a date can mean many things. As a man in certain contexts, you might bring flowers, offer to pay the bill, and open doors. As a woman, you may offer to split the tab and offer soft thanks. What does this constitute from an anthropological perspective

Answer 1

The performance of gender - cultural practices shaped by biological differences between men and women

Step-by-step explanation:

Gender performance as described by Judith Pamela Butler, an American Philosopher, it is the idea or belief that gender is an expression incorporated in human daily lives, which is learned and performed according to cultural practices in both femininity and masculinity.

In other words, the way individual expresses his or her gender to others around is a culturally determined performance of gender rather than an innate biological expression.

Hence, in this case, from anthropology's perspective, the acts expected of men and women when it comes to going out on a date, is culturally determined, rather than biologically induced, as the role may still be reversed without issues.
