What is the difference between sex and gender? In this podcast we consider to what extent aspects of gender behaviour may be either biologically influenced, or learned through sex-role stereotypes. We also look at androgyny (shared characteristics) and ask to what extent it is beneficial.

GENDER PODCASTS

Sex and gender - task

  • Listen to the following podcast in pairs

 

  • One of each pair should compose two questions that they would ask the speakers about:

a] sex-role stereotypes

b] the influence of the media on sex-role stereotyping

c] androgyny

  • Read the questions out aloud, one by one, to the other person in the pair, who should reply using information contained within the podcast

 

  • You can alternate composing and asking questions and giving answers if you like, so that both members of the pair get a go at both tasks

 

  • You may find that you need to listen to the podcast more than once to achieve this
