Sexual division of labor

Examples of Sexual division of labor in the following topics:

• The Functions of a Family

  • Marriage sometimes establishes the legal father of a woman's child or the legal mother of a man's child; it oftentimes gives the husband or his family control over the wife's sexual services, labor, and property.
  • Marriage, likewise, often gives the wife or her family control over the husband's sexual services, labor, and property.
  • In societies with a sexual division of labor, marriage, and the resulting relationship between a husband and wife, is necessary for the formation of an economically productive household .
  • From the point of view of the parents, the family is a family of procreation: The family functions to produce and socialize children
  • In societies with a sexual division of labor, marriage, and the resulting relationship between a husband and wife, is necessary for the formation of an economically productive household.

• Family

  • From the point of view of the parent(s), the family is a family of procreation: The family functions to produce and socialize children.
  • Marriage sometimes establishes the legal father of a woman's child; establishes the legal mother of a man's child; gives the husband or his family control over the wife's sexual services, labor, and/or property; gives the wife or her family control over the husband's sexual services, labor, and/or property; establishes a joint fund of property for the benefit of children; establishes a relationship between the families of the husband and wife.
  • None of these functions are universal, nor are all of them inherent to any one society.
  • In societies with a sexual division of labor, marriage, and the resulting relationship between a husband and wife, is necessary for the formation of an economically productive household.
  • These sorts of restrictions can be classified as an incest taboo, which is a cultural norm or rule that forbids sexual relations between family members and relatives.

• Families and Theory

  • From the point of view of the parent(s), the family is a family of procreation: the family functions to produce and socialize children.
  • In other cases, procreative families utilize marital privileges, rights, and laws (if they have access to these opportunities legally) to establish legal parenthood of a child, gain control over sexual services, labor, and / or property, establish a joint fund of property for the benefit of children, and / or establish relations between partner's larger familial networks.
  • In societies with a sexual division of labor, marriage, and the resulting relationship between a marital members, increasing economic opportunities and decreasing tax burdens, which can aid the establishment of financially stable families.
  • The primary functions of non-procreative families (e.g., families that are built around pursuits and desires that do not involve parenthood) is to facilitate social, economic, emotional, and interpersonal support networks, combine resources for the pursuit of financial gain and / or stability, formalize long term commitments to one another and to larger familial and social networks, claim some of the rights, benefits and privileges granted to procreative families in many countries, and / or adhere to religious / spiritual beliefs about emotional-sexual commitment, trajectory, and purpose.
  • These sorts of restrictions are a form of exogamy.

• Importance of Division of Labor

  • Division of labor is the specialization of cooperative labor in specific, circumscribed tasks and roles.
  • An example of the division of labor in the workplace is how workers at a candy factory have very particular tasks.
  • A complex division of labor appears to be strongly correlated with the rise of capitalism, as well as the rise of complex industrial production.
  • A highly specialized division of labor is often used in factories, such as this Chinese silk factory.
  • Examine how the division of labor can lead to alienation and less satisfaction in the workforce

• The Division of Labor

  • Division of labor is the specialization of cooperative labor in specific, circumscribed tasks and similar roles.
  • An assembly line is an example of the division of labor.
  • Division of labor is the specialization of cooperative labor in specific, circumscribed tasks and roles.
  • Emilie Durkheim was a driving force in developing the theory of the division of labor in socialization.
  • In view of the global extremes of the division of labor, the question is often raised about what manner of division of labor would be ideal, most efficient, and most just.

• Introduction to Meiosis

  • Meiosis is the nuclear division of diploid cells into haploid cells, which is a necessary step in sexual reproduction.
  • Sexual reproduction requires fertilization: the union of two cells from two individual organisms.
  • Therefore, sexual reproduction includes a nuclear division that reduces the number of chromosome sets.
  • Sexual reproduction is the production of haploid cells (gametes) and the fusion (fertilization) of two gametes to form a single, unique diploid cell called a zygote.
  • Haploid cells that are part of the sexual reproductive cycle are produced by a type of cell division called meiosis.

• Sexual Orientation

  • It is a personal quality that inclines people to feel romantic or sexual attraction (or a combination of these) to persons of a given sex or gender.
  • However, this is not always the case, and some do not become aware of their sexual orientation until much later in life.
  • Sexuality researcher Alfred Kinsey was among the first to conceptualize sexuality as a continuum rather than a strict dichotomy of gay or straight.
  • Open identification of one's sexual orientation may be hindered by homophobia and heterosexism.
  • Queer theorists reject the dichotomization (division) of sexual orientations into two mutually exclusive outcomes—homosexual or heterosexual.

• Advantages and Disadvantages of Sexual Reproduction

  • The genetic diversity of sexual reproduction, observed in most eukaryotes, is thought to give species better chances of survival.
  • Sexual reproduction was an early evolutionary innovation after the appearance of eukaryotic cells.
  • The fact that most eukaryotes reproduce sexually is evidence of its evolutionary success.
  • Meiosis is the division of the contents of the nucleus, dividing the chromosomes among gametes.
  • Variation is the outcome of sexual reproduction, but why are ongoing variations necessary?

• Methods of Reproducing

  • Animal reproduction is essential to the survival of a species; it can occur through either asexual or sexual means.
  • The known methods of reproduction are broadly grouped into two main types: sexual and asexual.
  • The division of a bacterial cell into two daughter cells is an example of asexual reproduction.
  • Organisms that reproduce sexually yield a smaller number of offspring, but the large amount of variation in their genes makes them less susceptible to disease.
  • Sexual reproduction ensures a mixing of the gene pool of the species.

• The Feminist Movement

  • The feminist movement (also known as the women's movement or women's liberation) refers to a series of campaigns for reforms on issues, such as women's suffrage, reproductive rights, domestic violence, maternity leave, equal pay in the workplace, maternity leave, sexual harassment, and sexual violence.
  • Although passage failed, the women's rights movement has made significant inroads in reproductive rights, sexual harassment law, pay discrimination, and equality of women's sports programs in schools.
  • In 1980, the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission defined sexual harassment as unwelcome sexual advances or sexual conduct, verbal or physical, that interferes with a person's performance or creates a hostile working environment.
  • The feminist movement also helped to transform family structures as a result of these increased rights, in that gender roles and the division of labor within households have gradually become more flexible.
  • The first wave of women's feminism focused on suffrage, while subsequent feminist efforts have expanded to focus on equal pay, reproductive rights, sexual harassment, and others.
