Is "gender-typical behaviour" an accepted term and if so how is it defined?

[Greeper]

Just that really!

Accepted by whom?

Not by many on this board, I'd have thought!

I think you mean stereotypical.

What a weird question. Why is it OK to assign behaviour to a sex, unless it was something specific to someone's body?

Has this come up in some specific context, OP?

Please desist.

Can we stop with all this making up words and language around this cult and adding to the confusion and gaslighting.

Just stop. It’s non sensical gender word salad bollox.

Behaviour is either based on a person's sex eg men can reach higher and build bigger muscles and women fall pregnant, or it's just stereotypes based on gender eg women prefer pink and sparkly things and men prefer guns and science.

I view gendered behaviour as learned and enforced through socialisation and flexible, changeable over time/location and I view sex based differences as innate and immutable.

Not my word salad. Features quite regularly, as above. Sometimes "gendered behaviour" is used in other papers.
Just exploring ideas and concepts with my daughters earlier and this term featured. I wondered if its a term that is used in day to day discussions by people in other fora. Seems it's not a crowd pleaser and I am interested to know what you think about it. What is gaslighting about it, Bollox?

Humans are social animals. Social living solves many survival problems but creates stress and pressures within groups, and we create social behaviours to deal with them.
People are expected to behave in certain ways to fit in, and people that don't fit in make others stressed and anxious, or angry. People often have to learn to be tolerant of differences, as they can be perceived as a threat.

If behaviours were really gendered, then they would be innate, and the gender of behaviours would be consistent throughout time and across all cultures.
They aren't consistent, many cultures have different gender roles. So we can safely assume gender roles are a social construct - they are invented by the culture we live in.

Gender typical behaviour means how far you conform to sex stereotype

They seemed to be studying if tomboys are more likely to be lesbians and effeminate boys, gay.

Why do people study this stuff?

They concluded that many people are gender nonconforming regardless of sexuality.

Who's have guessed?!!!

All of these questions are so bizarrely sexist and homophobic

This one is basically to see if my dad is right, that when he sees some women he says, looks like a lesbian!!!

Why are they studying this
What is it for
Who does it benefit
What might the answers be used to do

Etc

In this case, it can say to my dad. Just because a woman has short hair and isn't wearing a shirt doesn't mean she's a lesbian.

As I have been saying to him since about 1986.

Fgs.

'Documenting the great variability in gender expression over time that is evident for all these groups is important because we know that gender nonconformity, in terms of behavior, mannerisms, dress and style, can precipitate harsh treatment and negative perceptions that lead to discriminatory behavior and bullying,” she said. “Understanding and accepting this variation perhaps can help decrease discriminatory behavior.”'

So they think a hypothesis which says, are gender non conforming people likely to be gay, meets this conclusion do they? That's hilarious.

Read the gendered brain by Gina Rippon; she explains a lot of how the brains is a sponge from very early in and how stereotypes mould and then also interpret expressed behaviour and preferences.

Is it an accepted term?
Accepted by who or what?
I've certainly heard it used, and I think it signals the cultural malleability of "gender-typical behaviour". Gardening, for example, in some places is seen as typically male and in others as female.

Really interesting. I personally dislike phrases such as "typically male behaviour" or "masculine behaviour" but there are certain groups of behaviours that certain cultures, rightly or wrongly, more usually or traditionally associate with male or female gender. I wonder how best to describe these characterstics in discussion.
For example my daughters's friend said that in her workplace certain women are more likely to get into leadership roles because they have more male gender typical behaviour. I know what she means, but I didn't know whether this was the best phrase to use to get her point across.
