Week 2 Discussion: Continue Your DiscussionGender and Sexism
For this week’s discussion, share your thoughts about gender, gender identity, gender expression, and sexism.
- Refer to concepts covered in this week’s resources or activities.
- Attaching an article, video, podcast, meme, et cetera, as part of your post is always a good idea, but remember that you will need to write sufficient text in the post to meet the required point total for the post. Points will not be earned for merely attaching the resource and submitting a post without any descriptive text.
- Note: Do not create your post as a reply to the pinned post. Instead, use Yellowdig’s Create option to create a new post.
Select one of the following prompts to begin your discussion post this week:
- Consider the impact of intimate partner violence. Share a resource or agency that helps victims of intimate partner violence in your geographic area and describe the services the agency provides.
- Evaluate traditional gender-role stereotypes over the lifespan. Share a specific example of how traditional gender-role stereotypes have impacted your growth and development.
- Review the policies about sexual harassment and discrimination where you work. How does your place of employment address complaints of sexual harassment and discrimination?
