 * Keep agree there are problems with the article, including WP:ESSAY, but the concept of Gender polarization is a term in sociology in the sense that the term's coiner, Sandra Bem, is cited sufficiently. I searched several SERP pages and saw sufficient evidence that the term is in use. Gender roles is distinct from the idea of Gender polarization, the latter term describing what happens in a society when sex becomes intertwined with ideas about gender. Problem is, the current wiki-article is in sad shape; if it survives a deletion review, I'll try to fix it when I have time.--Tomwsulcer (talk) 00:26, 22 August 2014 (UTC)
