In Judith Lorber's "night to his day" she explains her beliefe of how genderism is a big part of society. You see how she tells us she sent her son to a school where sex and gender is not destinguished. Althought the boys and girls are not treated differently based on there gender they still develope a gender based reaction when asked of something from the teacher. When the teacher ask's the girls to do make up they do it with no problem or hesitation, when she aks's the boys to do the same they say no. Even thoe not seperated by gender the boys still say no to her request this shows how boys have a defying nature opose to girls submissive nature.I believe that gender based actions such as rasing a baby and painting your nails are based upon society in which thye live. I say this because the boys did not do the make up because one boy would not making the other boys fallow had he not said anything would the boys have used make up aswell? it leaves you to question if these feminine things were exceptableof a man to do in society would men do them? You already see men as metro sexuals when 30 years ago it was unherd of, now its exceptable and majority of men do these femanine things as its exceptable in todays society. I think genderism is based upon the society in which you live some things will be accepted and imbrased in your society but not in others which will always make people gender bias based on where there from.
