GENDER CONSTRUCTION
Gender refers to the characteristics of women, men, girls and boys that are socially constructed. This includes norms, behaviours and roles associated with being a woman, man, girl or boy, as well as relationships with each other. As a social construction, gender varies from society to society and can change over time.
§ Feminity : Femininity is a set of attributes, behaviors, and roles generally associated with women and girls. Although femininity is socially constructed, research indicates that some behaviors considered feminine are biologically influenced. There are so.
§ Masculinity : Masculinity is a set of attributes, behaviors, and roles associated with boys and men. Although masculinity is socially constructed, research indicates that some behaviors considered masculine are biologically influenced. Even there are so.
§ Sexuality : This involves biological, erotic, physical, emotional, social, or spiritual feelings and behaviors.

§ Question about the ‘Homosexuality’ came out.
§ The Patriarchy has already pervaded the entire society so from where the Homosexual persons are coming in this Society. A concern indeed. How they are Homosexual till now even after affecting the whole society by the Heterosexual ideas ?
§ The Homosexual people do not believe in the Heterosexuality even in the Patriarchal society’s traditions, rules and rituals. They become bored by the 'Heteronormativity' and which is why they have taken the alternate way of identity in the society.
§ Child’s education depends on the culture, family principle and this entire process are the Socialization Process. It affects the Children’s mind. For him the Pleasure principle, Reality Principle and Morality principle create a quagmire.
§ ‘Homophobia’ because of ‘Discrimination’ happens.
§ ‘Men element’ – ‘Power/Dominating Structure’.
§ ‘Women element’ – ‘Dominated Structure by this power’.
