For mid-to-upper level courses in Gender Roles, Introduction to Women's Studies, and Sociology of Sex Roles. The updated revision for the fourth edition of Gender Roles is a clearly written core text for courses on the sociology of gender/gender roles. Although appropriate for mid to upper level students, those without the introductory course in sociology can quickly navigate its contents so that early in the text students from all levels are on the same grounds. Focusing on the most recent research and theory-both in the U.S. and globally-it provides an in-depth, survey and analysis of modern gender roles and issues from a sociological perspective but also, integrates insights and research from other disciplines-especially biology, psychology, anthropology and history. Interdisciplinary material is guided by the sociological perspective, so students can understand the commonalities and differences in the ways the various disciplines research and explain gender. This text provides a balanced, non-polarized view of controversial issues that dispel gender myths and demonstrates how material can be meaningfully applied to a student's personal life.
yes, lets get serious
| Customer Rating: | | Yes, lets get serious. This textbook provides a serious, in-depth look at male-female relations. I am a university professor in California, and I have successfully used this book in my classes. The book is not perfect, but its major fault is the lack of a new edition. |
A DEEP INQUIRY INTO GENDER
| Customer Rating: | | Excellent work: deep, serious, penetrating. People should make comments on the book without having read it. Not an easy read. It is a serious work and requires time and patience (and some familiarity with sociological ideas and concepts). Two negative, pre-mature, anti-intellectual reviews should be removed immediately. This is not a political polemic or grocery store paperback. You have got to read the book and it will take time to digest the arguments. |
It should be called the Fascist Feminist Cookbook
| Customer Rating: | Wow, this book is absolutely the most sexist book I have ever read. Some of the things that she spouts are completely ridiculous. Not only does she present "facts" that are nothing more then something she conjured up; she is constantly refuting proven facts and studies, stating that she is right and they are wrong.
I don't know if she has something against males or is just a hateful woman. I can't believe that anyone would actually publish such garbage.
The book is called gender roles, but feminist roles is more accurate. The book only provides for one point of view and it constantly states how men are evil and constantly holding women down and making this world terrible.
Read it if you want a good laugh and you can stand someone blabbing about some fantasies that she has for the ending of male society, possibly then ending of the male gender. |
Dr. Lindsey's bias is glaring
| Customer Rating: | Perhaps another person with a chip in their shoulder, hiding behind academic credentials.
Example: ch4 Dr. Lindsey spouts such gems as...
"It would be insulting for grown men to be called boys but we routinely refer to grown women as girls. College students take for granted the "guys-girls" distinction so that males do not have to be referred to as "boys." In this manner, linguistic practice routinely implies that females are immature, helpless, and incapable. Males are complete beings who readily take on adult qualities and females are sexual childlike objects who linguistically retain an immature status through-out their lives." **How about this one?.....
"A poet becomes a poetess and an usher an usherette. Again, women are defined as a kind of male appendage that are the exceptions to the male-as-norm rule- imitators not to be taken seriously." Get real!
