Women's reflections on gender roles

Rasprave o rodu su postale učestala tema rasprave u medijima te među ljudima u današnjem društvu. Rod označava unutrašnji osjećaj identiteta kao društvenog diskursa za razliku od spola koji označava biološku podjelu na muškarce i žene. Smatra se kako je rod proizvod modernog društva te kako je zapravo nepotreban i dovodi do rasipa tradicionalne podjele obitelji i pojedinaca. Na stvaranje rodnog identiteta najviše utječu roditelji kroz igru i odijevanje, a kasnije tu ulogu preuzimaju vršnjaci i profesori te društvo. Rodne uloge, koje proizlaze iz rodnog identiteta, dovode do raznih stupnjeva podjele i segregacije u društvu i obitelji te razvoja rodnih stereotipa. Rodni stereotipi su vjerovanja o različitim psihološkim karakteristikama žena i muškaraca. Sami stereotipi se ne odnose samo na pojedince već i na njihovu cjelokupnu osobnost pa se tako muškarcima pripisuje agresivnost, racionalnost i ne emocionalnost dok su žene osjetljivije, nježnije, emocionalnije i iracionalnije te se brinu o obitelji i djeci dok se muškarci brinu o financijama i donose hranu na stol. Prema rezultatima je vidljivo da veliki broj studenata nije upoznat sa pojmovima roda te razlikom roda i spola. Također veliki broj studenata nije upoznat sa pojmom rodnih uloga dok je većina studenata upoznata ili je iskusila rodnu diskriminaciju. Istraživanje je pokazalo kako većinom prevladavaju tradicionalni stavovi o odgoju djece i roditeljstvu dok se određeni broj studenata s istima ne slaže. Prevladava općenito zadovoljstvo mogućnostima s obzirom na spol. Najveći broj ispitanika je zadovoljan međusobnim poštovanjem u braku. Dio istraživanja koji se odnosi na stavove o nasilju u obitelji pokazuje kako se ispitanici slažu sa patrijarhalnim vrijednostima društva u kojem žive te kako je opravdano povremeno podignuti glas na svoju partnericu te kako povremena pljuska ne spada u nasiljeGender debates have become a frequent topic of discussion in the media and among people in today'ssociety. Gender signifies an inner sense of identity as a social discourse as opposed to gender which signifies a biological division into men and women. Gender is considered to be a product of modern society and isin fact unnecessary and leads to the spoilage of the traditional division of families and individuals. The creation of gender identity is mostly influenced by parents through play and dress, and later this role is taken over by peers and professors and society. Gender roles, which derive from gender identity, lead to various degrees of division and segregation in society and the family and the development of gender stereotypes. Gender stereotypes are beliefs about the different psychological characteristics of women and men. Stereotypes themselves apply not only to individuals but also to their overall personality, so men are attributed aggression, rationality and not emotionality while women are more sensitive, gentle, emotional and irrational and take care of family and children while men take care of finances and bring food on the table. According to the results, it is evident that a large number of students are not familiar with the concepts of gender and the difference between gender and gender. Also a large number of students are not familiar with the concept of gender roles while most students are familiar with or have experienced gender discrimination. The research showed that the traditional attitudes about raising children and parenthood prevail, while a certain number of students do not agree with them. Overall satisfaction with gender opportunities prevails. Most of the respondents are satisfied with mutual respect in marriage. The part of the research related to attitudes about domestic violence shows how respondents agree with the patriarchal values of the society in which they live and how it is justified to occasionally raise your voice to your partner and how occasional slapping is not violence
