Writing task 4

1- How does society affect gendered identity.

    

    Society affect gendered identity, because us, society, tend to say that certain things are for men and other things for women, so we treat and teach the kids like that, so it ends being a thing that we think that's real when it isn't. In other words there exits this society kind of rules that if we don't follow we are weird, it's not "normal".

    For example: Woman wear skirt and men can't wear them, it's weird... But why? Why it's wrong? Why men can't wear them? In Scotland it's like accepted to men wearing skirt and it's weird for us, because we tend to make the relation women-skirt.

2- How is language affected by gendered identity?

 

   I think that language is not affected by gendered identity, neither the other way, because we tend to say that some professions or jobs are for man or women, it's more like a social thing that has been acquired by us.

   For example: If we say policeman we are not saying that man have to be policeman we are saying that man tend to work at that job, same thing we can do we the women with cleaning lady, for example my grandmother has a "cleaning lady" and it's a man, in other words he is a cleaner.
