The Aspect of Gendering Jobs with the Notion of Gender Binary

Through employment no matter the circumstances it is men that traditionally hold and are prone to science and mathematics jobs and even chief executive officer positions whereas women are prone to jobs involving care giving positions. .

             In this paper, I wish to apply Halberstam's challenge for gender binarism regarding the bathroom controversy and its concern on the basis of masculinity and gender as a whole. I also wish to discuss the terms on how gender is constantly reiterated in the classroom and translated from the classroom to outside jobs and occupations in society. In fact, Dr. Kate Huppatz, from the school of social sciences, conducted a study in which she questioned on why men and women at any level perpetrate such gender norms by continuing to enter such feminized and masculine occupations. This is the conception that is being transformed from the micro level of gender to the macro level of gender; in simpler terms the movement of gender performance from the classroom to gender performance in the workforce. In Halberstam's essay, she proposes that although bathrooms are gendered the problem that arises with is how it is gendered. Halberstam argues that urinary segregation and gender binarism is how the bathroom is gendered. Furthermore, I will argue that gender does play out in the classroom and from there it is contributed in the workforce through such means. .

             Boys and girls or men and women regardless of their sex succumb to the gender roles idea. This creates a deviation between girls and boys and such gender roles regardless of what educational level the students are in. It is evident that in the educational classroom genders are forged to be indifferent from one another. In the words of Amanda Chapman, "the socialization of gender within our schools assures that girls are made aware that they are unequal to boys. " This shows the idea in which every time students are seated or lined up by gender, teachers are affirming that girls and boys should be treated differently.
