Theories on Gender

In class on Thursday we were talking about different theories on how men and women are socialized and affected by this socialization. One of the theories we were talking about was the biological theory that Dr. Widmann had come to our class and talked about previously. While discussing the biological argument vs. the cultural arguments Celia brought up a good point. She said feminism is seen as man bashing but in reality it is really the biology argument that beats up on men. The biology argument pretty much says that men are at a woman's disposal in picking which partner she wants to procreate with. While women get to choose who they mate with, men just have to take what they can get. Now the scientist who study this say it in much different terms, it boils down to the fact that women get to be picky and men just have to take it.
