WGST 112 WVU Women and Gender Studies Patriarchy and Kyriarchy Discussion
I need an explanation for this History question to help me study.
I need help with some questions in my Introduction to Women and gender studies, here are the question:
Q.1 What is the difference between the terms patriarchy and kyriarchy? How does intersectionality help us to better understand the concept of kyriarchy and vice versa?
Q.2 What is the difference between heterosexism and sexism? Provide your own definition for each, and give one example of heterosexism and one example of sexism (2 points for definitions showing differences; 2 points per each example – 8 points total).
Q.3 What is ableism? What are the two main types of ableism? What are 2 examples of ableism that you can see happening in the world? You can use examples from our class readings or you can use your own examples. (2 points for definition; 2 points per each example – 6 points total)
Q.4 In 2-3 sentences, sum up the reading “The Social Construction of Gender” by Lorber. What was this reading about? How does the author support her argument?
Q.5 What does it mean to think about racism systemically versus individually? What is an example of systemic racism that can help us better understand the pervasiveness of racism in 2020? (4 points for difference; 2 points for example – 6 points total)
