		The Gender Role Strain paradigm, originally formulated by Joseph Pleck in The Myth of Masculinity (1981), is the forerunner, in the new psychology of men, of social constructionism, and of modern critical thinking about masculinity, having been formulated before social constructionism emerged as a new perspective on masculinity (Pleck, 1995).
		This paradigm springs from the same philosophical roots as the "essentialist" or "nativist" view of sex roles--the notion that (in the case of men) there is a clear masculine "essence" that is historically invariant.
		In this paradigm, appropriate gender roles are determined by the prevailing gender ideology (which is operationally defined by gender role stereotypes and norms), and are imposed on the developing child by parents, teachers, and peers -- the cultural transmitters who subscribe to the prevailing gender ideology.

		Social constructionism is a paradigm in the social sciences that has become a main contender in the paradigm wars for the understanding of social processes, generally, and gender, in particular.
		They may consciously orient their doings of gender so the outcome is assessed as gender-appropriate or purposively gender-inappropriateeither way individuals orient their behavior with the knowledge that by being assessed, they will be held accountable for their doing of gender.
		Butler's emphasis on the ritual repetition of heterosexualized gender, the excess of the reified construction of gender, and on the instability of categories of gender marks one rift between her project and the social constructionist project.

	Feminista! v3n3 - Gender Theory
		Gender is the ascribed normative aspect, generally focused around the human concept of sex, a biological, physical division, that extends to a broad social construction, informing, shaping, limiting ways of being, both masculinism and feminism.
		Gender is a methodological and ideological element that is capable of transforming and enriching social science comprehension.
		As gender constitutes the most basic division and definition in political societies, i.e., who is defined as being a citizen, who is allowed to vote, hold office, or go to combat, it became increasingly impossible to ignore the gendered aspect of all social sciences.

	Gender role - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Gender roles have long been a staple of the Nature/Nurture debate: Traditional theories of gender usually assume that one's gender identity, and hence one's gender role, is a natural given.
		However, some have argued that gender roles themselves are abstractions of overall differences between men and women, introducing the idea of circularity and the idea of the social reinforcement of natural tendencies leading to a factitious separation between the activities of males and the activities of females.
		When an individual exhibits a gender role that is discordant with his or her gender identity, it is most often done to deliberately provoke a sense of incongruity and a humorous reaction to the attempts of a person of one sex to pass himself or herself off as a member of the opposite sex.

		In this paper, I argue that the rigid dualist paradigm of gender in American society limits space for the expression of individuals who do not adapt to strict gender binaries, and instead, cross the borders between male/female.
		Finally, the contemporary gender ideology that I refer to above includes the notions that there exist two distinct genders (male or female) and that there is a "natural" gender into which each person is born, as determined by his/her external genitalia.
		Due to the reliance on society assumptions of a binary gender system, medical news chooses only to focus on the aesthetic qualities of "becoming," such as hormone therapy and gender reassignment surgery, which emphasize that intersexes is a state that needs correcting.

		From the study described in this paper, the gender entrapment theoretical paradigm is conceptualized as a dynamic process of cumulative experiences that begin with the organization of the individual’s gender identity development in her family of origin, leading to her experiences of violence in her intimate relationships, and culminating in forced involvement in illegal activities.
		The theory of gender entrapment developed in this paper assumes that social relationships and institutional practices are organized in such a way as to regulate the behavior of social actors according to their gender.
		The gender entrapment process began here, where the African American battered women’s identities developed in their households of origin were contradicted by their experiences and treatment in the pubic sphere.

		Current "Western" cultural gender role and expression paradigms are based on a non-industrialized society largely defined within early Judeo-Christian experience and other similar patriarchal social models.
		In the zealous effort to break free from the constraints of the traditional gender role assigned to women, a new equally constrained gender model was promulgated--the new stereotype "bra burner" arose, which from the perspective of most men and a number of women became an assault on "femininity" with a perceived attempt to "masculinize" women.
		Gender roles were still mired in the firmly demarcated bipolar genetic sex-based constraint.

		The transcendent values driving the fight for a new gender paradigm, such as respect for humanity in both its male and female expressions, are the essential strength of the movement.
		Gender then becomes the battleground on which this political war is fought and the promise it holds is ravished by extraneous forces.
		Many of these leaders see gender work as upsetting the God-given gender roles within a household, asking women to work outside the home while many believe that any profession other than that of a housewife and a mother is a sin for a woman to perform because it violates purdah.

	Development - HIV/AIDS action in developing countries (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		The conferences succeeded in shifting the ‘women in development’ paradigm, where women are merely included in development planning and evaluation, towards a more comprehensive and integrated interpretation, ‘gender and development’, in which gender equality is seen as integral to the advancement of both women and men.
		One of the crucial acknowledgments of the new gender and development paradigm is that women play an important role in societies and are therefore powerful agents for change.
		Gender relations and its effect on women’s reproductive and sexual health and sustainable development are still not fully integrated into development policy and effective programmes targeted at young women and men are still lacking.

	Chapter 10 — The Gender Paradigm In Domestic Violence: Research And Theory by Donald G. Dutton and Tonia L. ...
		A case is made for a paradigm having developed amongst family violence activists and researchers that precludes the notion of female violence, trivializes injuries to males and maintains a monolithic view of a complex social problem.
		The feminist paradigm supports the notion that domestic violence is primarily a culturally supported male enterprise and that female violence is always defensive and reactive.
		As a result of the gender paradigm the debate over Johnson's (1995) study involved comparing a group that constitutes about 3% of intimate violence per year with another that constitutes 38.8% of violence in married couples and 45% of violence in cohabitating couples (Stets and Straus 1992, p.234).

		With deeper exploration of what gender means, we learn that it is more complicated than "it's a boy" or "it's a girl." Transgender people live on the continuum of gender expression and biologically assigned sex; they live in the gray areas that are more difficult to label.
		Gender delineation is based on stereotypic behaviors and psychological associations, as evidenced by, for example, the designation of certain jobs and activities as masculine and others as feminine.
		Since our culture holds strong beliefs about what is appropriate for each gender, the child who is born female- regardless of her interests and abilities- is generally expected to wear dresses, play with dolls, like boys, and aspire to having a family and (if she's really ambitious) a career.

	Refugee Law, Gender, and the Human Rights Paradigm
		Gender asylum law has also been a catalytic force in itself, a major vehicle for the articulation and acceptance of the human rights paradigm.
		Rape was one of the first issues affected by the articulation of the human rights paradigm within refugee law and the increased willingness to consider gender-specific abuses within the scope of persecution.
		In gender asylum law, the question is addressed in some of the most significant and most recent case law.

		Developing a GIS system which specifically addressed gender and agriculture in Africa would be a sensible forward move given the degree of difference and complexity within the African system in respect of the interrelationship between gender and agriculture.
		Knowing which gender farms rice in any particular location is clearly important to the decision as to which type of crop is to be promoted by the external agency resourcing the project.
		The old paradigm is redundant in terms of its operational value: the question must be what are the barriers to the adoption of the new local gender sensitive paradigm and how are these most effectively removed.

	Gender - What About Men And Gender? World Bank Publication Calls For “Menstreaming” Development
		However, over the last decade, there has been a growing, but still timid, interest in understanding the male side of gender in development, that is, how gender norms and constructs in society negatively affect men themselves as well as the development processes.
		Addressing gender issues, including those that disadvantage women, thus requires understanding gender as a social system that affects both men and women and their inter-relations, according to the book.
		To ignore this other side of gender is to ignore a critical variable in some of the most pressing issues the development world is tackling today--including the spread of the HIV/AIDS pandemic, pervasive patterns of war and conflict, urban crime and delinquency, insecurity, and even terrorism.

		Gender Dysphoria has received little attention in the curricula of most medical schools and pediatric training programs or at meetings of pediatric and endocrine academic societies.
		A new therapeutic paradigm for gender "assignment" of intersexed newborns emphasizes the impact of the intrauterine hormonal milieu on the formation of gender identity, particularly testosterone "imprinting," and discourages any genital reconstructive surgery during infancy or childhood.
		As individuals whose gender identity is in contradistinction to their fetal and postnatal hormonal environment, the transgendered are exceptions to the paradigm.

	GENDER ANALYSIS: ALTERNATIVE PARADIGMS
		She is the author of numerous articles and papers on gender and development, including conceptual shifts in the women and development discourse and studies of gender mainstreaming in different institutions.
		Gender analysis, once confined to the margins of development theory, has over the last ten years penetrated both the thinking and the operations of international development institutions, transforming not only the practice but the objectives of development planning and programmes.
		Gender analysis is essentially about disaggregating national data sets by gender (e.g., sex ratios, life expectancy, infant/child mortality), and analyzing their possible implications for economic growth, human resource development, population and health policies.

	SD : Environment : Gender and energy planning
		The gender analysis is used to identify the most serious blockages to women's control over resources, to document the conditions under which women work relative to men, and to propose changes which benefit women.
		The point is that awareness of gender, and use of gender based planning procedures, can help the planner whether the aim is efficiency or whether the aim is equity; and in most cases, the aim is in fact somewhere in between.
		Another point of discussion in gender and energy planning is whether the inclusion of gender issues is a relatively simple matter or whether it requires a complete overhaul of the planning procedures and a rethinking of planning theory.

	PEP Web - Toward a Critical Relational Theory of Gender
		It is argued that gender coherence, consistency, conformity, and identity are culturally mandated normative ideals that psychoanalysis has absorbed uncritically.
		An alternative, “decentered” gender paradigm is then proposed, which conceives of gender as a “necessary fiction” that is used for magical ends in the psyche, the family, and the culture.
		From this perspective, gender identity is seen as a problem as well as a solution, a defensive inhibition as well as an accomplishment.

	UNDERSTANDING GENDER IN Muslim SOCIETIES.3
		The field of gender relations in Muslim societies today constitutes one of the foremost arenas for the energies and the controversies that attend this process of reconstruction.
		The influences operating on gender relations in Muslim societies cannot be solely studied from the perspective of the developments in an autonomous tradition, any more than the operating influences in a modern global economy can be studied independently of the particular traditions in question.
		While gender is a central category in any society, its relative importance is contingent on the structure and cultural priorities and perceptions in that society.

	Book Review (Spring 2001 issue of EEWC Update)
		It is in the gender discrimination arena that issues of the bipolar gender construct hit home for all EEWC members, because we all suffer the effects of religious discrimination based on human notions that males and females are very different and very unequal.
		Her chapter on the injustices of the bi-gender system is a painful recap of the all-too-familiar effects of gender and sex discrimination, providing the details of how socially defined and enforced gender roles force women into social, psychological, legal, economic, and physical subjugation.
		The psychological consequences of rigid gender roles are apparent to me every day as a psychiatrist treating both women and men afflicted with psychosomatic and psychological symptoms because of sexual abuse and the pressures of gender socialization that forces women into helpless roles and men into ignoring and stifling their emotions.

	A study of men and women from different sides of earth to determine if men are from Mars and women are from Venus in ...
		The fashionable paradigm of gender differences (i.e., men are from Mars, women are from Venus) is also problematic because it is frequently based on anecdotal evidence and tends to universalize what are mostly Western cultural patterns about men and women.
		However, one limitation of research examining gender differences in relationship beliefs is the failure to consider at the same time how other social group memberships, including culture, race/ethnicity, and social class, also influence beliefs and attitudes.
		There are at least two important reasons to examine gender differences (and similarities) in beliefs about love and romantic relationships in conjunction with the influence of other social group memberships.
