The article about Social construction of gender definitely makes sense and goes into to detail overall about what produces the outcome of genders and their differences. This article also gave out a list of what factors impact social construction regarding to gender, and hers a few such as Power and hierarchy:status entitlement, knowledge being the reality along with the place and time, and is a dynamic process meaning that it is shaped by others, and your environment and what you learn as an individual. These factors are based on the research by Marecek, Crawford & Popp. I actually agree with their assumptions because in human life in society, we tend to shape ourselves based on what is around us or it usually just grows on to us by influencing us either negative or positive. The place and time, the words people use and the way people talk, the mannerisms we pick up as human beings, and i assume as well that would shape our gender depending on the way that we choose to do gender. But as we know society views things very close minded. I also just wanted to point out that i found very interesting is that this article really provides insight on how ender is shaped by what one does and that gender is an accomplishment. The reason i pointed this out is because anyone should be able to express themselves and be themselves without being judged, of course the world only sees male and females and in American society it is a norm and right way to act in their eyes but everyone is equal or should be. As stated, "Doing" gender is not just about conforming to stereotypical gender roles – it is the active engagement in any behavior that is gendered, or behavior that may be evaluated as gendered (West and Zimmerman)." The article is definitely neutral not one sided, during the reading of this article i did not witness anything going against, or opposing the topic in a biased way. This article is very considerate towards the topic, in other words it has no judgement whatsoever of people with different gender roles and as i mentioned provides multiple evidence and information explaining how gender is shaped and respecting that. Also in conclusion at the end of the article a majority of sources(citations) are valid and they all are very accurate and everything is dated correctly from my perspective. I believe in this article in a few of the sections within it should be better sources, like where it says edit source, to be specific it will say according to some association but it should give like an article or link to it. I did not see this article linked to any wikiprojects.
