Dash 7

Questions:

1. Do you think that people’s attitudes toward sexual behaviors are

affected by whether they are male or female? Do you think this influences
how they judge others’ sexual behaviors? Why or why not?

 Yes, people's attitudes toward sexual behaviors are affected whether

they are male or female because of the beliefs we grew up with as
young people and the stories we hear from people today. Just like
many people believe that there are only a few sane men because of
the posts and what we hear about men having affairs, that's why
because of this, men who want to be serious in a relationship are also
thought to be cheaters. I always hear from my fellow women that
"That's how men are" or "You guys are all the same" which is they are
all men even if other men are s erious about relations hips.

2. What are the common beliefs and misconceptions about the body, sex,
and sexuality? Discuss briefly.

 The common belief that my mother always told me is that being a

woman is not an obstacle to the dreams I want to achieve. Men are
not superior to us but we are just equal, through hard work and
perseverance we can achieve everything we want no matter what
gender, sexuality, and body we have. The misconceptions that I
always hear from adults who are young are that they already know
what gender they are, if they say they are gay, they were born gay. But
according to research, our perception in early years of gender is not
fixed. Many young children struggle with their gender identity, and
about 10% of them will grow up to be transgender.
