Kinds of relationships
Currently, I see an obvious relationship that is friendship. Although there are different kinds of relationships like a parent to child, sister to brother, husband to wife. For most of the relationship, we have seen a dominant role of the male gender. Anyhow for me, gender is only a biological classification.
In the case of my
friend, we both have different gender, as I mentioned above, it is just a
biological classification. For me, both deserve the same values, the right to make a decision and to talk about what they feel right or wrong.
A relationship should
base on trust and open communication in which the person should speak freely
about anything they want to.
If I discuss how there
is a gender difference between us, I would like to say that both of us in this
relationship has some different hobbies and some things. Like I love to play football,
but my friend loves bowling, I love to play fighting action video games while
my friend likes cool games like candy crush. I mostly eat meaty things while my
friend is health-conscious, and she prefers a vegetarian diet.
Now if we look at
communication, I am more open than my friend about my personal issues etc.
while she is not that much open and sometimes most of the things she wants to
avoid.
Benefits of feminine
characteristics
There are many benefits
of being feminine 1st thing feeling equal with men, and you have the freedom to
wear whatever you want. You don’t care what other people say about you or think
about you. Feminism shows that girls are not less than men in any field, and
they can compete equally with men (Cancian, 1989).
What are the benefits of
masculine characteristics?
In my thoughts,
masculinity is a good thing if we use it in a positive way. Mans is healthy and
stronger than women’s; therefore physical works that need strength should be
done by men like lifting heavy things, but they should not consider that these
things are only for men and women don’t have the capability to do this.
What are the
adversities of feminine/masculine characteristics?
Both feminine and
masculine characteristics have some positive effects, but unfortunately, there
are some adversities. Now a day we watch on social media many girls abuse or
disrespect men, and in their thoughts, this society is only for women there is
no need for men, and similarly, masculine men have the same attitude, and they
try to prove it men are superior to women. In fact, this is a male-dominated
society which is not right both should play their roles equally some things are
only for men and some are only for women like child caring and house caring are
for women and administrative tasks should be handled by men (wood, 1994).
Summarize the role of
gender in this relationship
Gender is basically a
social tag assigned to sex like a male or female. There are social norms like a
masculine should behave a male and feminine should behave like a female.
Anyhow, when it comes about the relationship, it is the responsibility of both
genders to maintain their relationship in a positive way (LaFraniere, 2007).
