This article suggests that social life defines sexuality and gender as binaries. It argues that the binaries can be deconstructed, but society has certain expectations for each identity that is not part of the norm. This article can be used to back up the fact that this is a structure that society builds, with different expectations for each group of people.

The first and twelfth chapter of the book provide useful points about gender and sexuality. There are themes of power; power is stripped away from gender once it is given a name. This book also provides an extreme argument about how androgyny will be able to break the gender binary.

This whole book has sections on how gay and lesbian youth have to deal with coming to their identities and how they have to deal with society. I used the section on how they want to be “ordinary”, to further point out how society isolates the abnormal.

I used this section of a book to further show how children are influenced in their education to follow the stereotypes and norms set by society. The authors make a good point about how the AOUM curricula have encouraged men to have a stronger sexual drive than women from an early age.

I used this textbook to better understand gender and sexuality and I used the definitions in this book to define some terms in my website. I also used the textbook to accurately highlight the stereotypes associated with each gender.

I used this video to illustrate how gender stereotypes are present in current society. This is the experience of one person who posted this video on 2014 that demonstrates how stereotypes are applied to a person just because of their perceived gender.

feministfrequency. “The LEGO Boys Club – Lego & Gender Part 2”  Online Video clip. YouTube. YouTube, 5 Feb. 2012. Web. 22 November 2015

These two videos show how the media actually enforces the gender stereotypes. This is a LEGO ad exploration, which means that these stereotypes are already enforced for people at a very young age.
