Feminine Gender Roles

This article explores feminist voice in selected poems of four Nepali female poets. They are: "Ma Eutā Chyātieko Poshtar" ["I, a Frayed Poster"] by Banira Giri, "Pothī Bāsnu Hudaina" ["A Hen Must not Crow"] by Kunta Sharma,"Ma Strī Arthāt Āimai"["I am a Female or a Woman"] by Seema Aavas and "Tuhāu Tyo Garvalai" ["Abort the Female Foetus"] by Pranika Koyu. In the selected poems they protest patriarchy and subvert patriarchal norms and values that trivialize women. The tone of their poems is sarcastic towards male chauvinism that treats women as a second-class citizen. The poets question and ridicule the restrictive feminine gender roles that limit women's opportunity. To examine the voice of protest against patriarchy in the selected poems, the article takes theoretical support from French feminism, though not limited to it. The finding of the article suggests that Nepali women have used the genre to the political end, as a medium to advocate women's rights.

Feminine Gender Roles

This study examined associations between Mexican-origin parents’ cultural values in relation to supportive and undermining coparenting behavior. Data were collected from 80 sets of parents, 160 parents total, with a preschool-age child ( M = 63.60 months old; 39 boys, 41 girls) who were of Mexican origin (22% of mothers and 28% of fathers born in Mexico). Mothers and fathers independently completed questionnaires assessing their cultural values of (a) familismo (i.e., loyalty to family), (b) machismo (i.e., adherence to masculine/feminine gender roles), (c) respeto (i.e., respect for self and others), and (d) simpatía (i.e., maintenance of interpersonal harmony). Mother–father–child triads were observed during a structured play session from which supportive and undermining coparenting behavior was coded. Mothers and fathers who held stronger familism beliefs were characterized by more supportive coparenting behavior. Mothers and fathers who held stronger simpatía beliefs were characterized by less undermining coparenting behavior. Fathers who held stronger respeto beliefs showed more supportive coparenting behavior, whereas mothers who held stronger machismo beliefs were characterized by more undermining coparenting behavior. Mother–father dyads with higher agreement on familism displayed more supportive coparenting behavior, and mothers and fathers who had higher agreement on simpatía beliefs engaged in less undermining coparenting. Results suggest that the cultural values held by both mothers and fathers of Mexican origin are significantly associated with the quality of their coparenting relationship.

Freedom From Distractibility

Preadolescent boys with Gender Identity Disorder (N = 13), their brothers (N = 8) and boys referred for psychiatric assessment (N = 10) were administered age-appropriate Wechsler intelligence scales. Four hypotheses regarding patterns of intellectual functioning and spatial ability were tested. A previous suggestion that the development of boyhood femininity is associated with higher than average IQ was not supported, since the IQs of the feminine boys and their brothers did not differ. A report of enhanced verbal ability as compared with perceptual organization also was not replicated in these feminine boys. On Kaufman's “Freedom from Distractibility” factor, the feminine boys and their brothers obtained scores as low as the psychiatric controls; that is, all three groups were equally distractible. It was suggested that anxiety contributed to poor performance on this factor. Unlike the control groups, the feminine boys obtained low scores on a test of spatial ability (Block Design) as compared to their scores on a verbal task (Vocabulary). The association between a feminine gender role and relatively poor spatial ability was discussed.
