This family formation has been labeled the Standard North American Family (SNAF)
Wow this is just so absurd to me! I have never heard of this before and it's so surreal to me that it exists. Kind of goes to show how ingrained these ideologies are in our current society, even after all the positive strides we have taken thus far.
Does family mean those who are blood related? This definition of family excludes stepparents and adopted children from a definition of those in one’s family.
This is interesting because I feel like everyone has their own definition of family or who they feel are 'close enough' to them emotionally to be considered family.
This example illustrates how state policies devalue the traditionally gendered care work that women disproportionately perform, target poor women of color as subjects to be regulated, and reinforce heteronormative breadwinner-homemaker gender roles.
This also resonates as evil doings! I wonder what they gain from oppressing groups of people like this..
Most individuals who receive welfare are stigmatized and construed as undeserving,
Well doesn't this just sound like the most evil thing...
Feminized work, or work thought to be “women’s work” is not only underpaid, it is also socially undervalued,
If they are doing the same job as men why does it have to be undervalued?! They're doing the exact same thing. It's starting to get ridiculous.... this isn't the 18th century anymore.
On average, women workers make 77% of what men make.
I seriously wonder when this wage gap will be banished... At this point in time it is starting to seem more and more inhumane.
and we consider wealth to be masculine.
Wow, this is something that I have never heard in my 22 years of life, but I just think it's laughable when you realize that some of these social constructions made by society are just crazy. I didn't know that there was a difference between a wealthy male and a wealthy female when we're simply talking about a piece of green paper.
Feminist scholars argue that the common assumption that knowledge is produced by rational, impartial (male) scientists often obscures the ways that scientists create knowledge through gendered, raced, classed, and sexualized cultural perspectives (e.g., Scott 1991).
Never thought about it this way and it's so crazy and interesting how ingrained and complex this type of research is.You really have to think deep.
Just because female-assigned people bear children does not necessarily mean that they are always by definition the best caretakers of those children or that they have “natural instincts” that male-assigned people lack.
This is a very important sentence here because it brings up such a good point about parenthood and how males can be reliable caretakers as well as females. Back in the 20s and 30s society was arranged in a way that made it seem like only women were best suited to raise children and a family, whereas men were supposed to go to work for the family. This sentence furthers the argument that both genders are capable of switching roles and being good parents.
can be defined as a general theory, which holds that a group’s biological or genetic makeup shapes its social, political, and economic destiny (Subramaniam 2014)
This was very interesting to me because if this theory was ever proven to be 100% facts that could potentially change some of the social norms that we see in society today. There is a chance that people could become less judgmental if they were to understand how much biology and science is tied into how people think.
