This chapter introduces the families in the study and the diverse ways they came to understand that their child had a gender issue that penetrated to the level of core identity. While many children engage in atypical forms of play, certain types of gendered statements and behaviors led these parents to decide that their child had a problem significant enough to seek support from an outside expert or advocate. Some also came, in time, to understand that their child had a gender identity that conflicted with their social assignment. The processes through which parents generated these understandings differed significantly for male and female children, reflecting how we valorize normative masculinity while simultaneously treating the category “male” as exquisitely fragile. Parents then shift their behavior, “giving gender” differently to their children, revealing the ways our identities come into being in interaction with significant others.

In this paper, I am going to conduct a feminist reading of Tar Baby by using feminist theory. We are going to look at the issues of gender identity according to feminist’s ideologies and principles in term of oppression against black in general and black women specifically. In addition to that, we are going to use one of the main principles of feminism, which is the patriarchy system between gender and origin. This analysis based on the actions, thoughts and behaviors of the major characters in Toni Morrison’s Tar Baby to gain their identity, also to understand the nature of gender inequality and examining women's social roles, experience and interests

The indications for excretory urography derived from the results of 797 examinations in 656 subjects are presented. Twenty-eight per cent of all urograms performed were abnormal (191 patients). The most important indications for performing this procedure were, in order of frequency, pyuria, recurrent abdominal pain, hematuria and abdominal masses. The results of the study emphasize the importance of urographic examination in both male and female children after the first attack of pyuria, and in children with repeated attacks of unexplained abdominal pain.

Attitudes Toward Pets

200 adults (100 men and 100 women with a mean age of 58.8 yr.) were interviewed to assess the associations of recollections about their grandparents' and parents' attitudes and their adults' attitudes and behaviors toward pets. Subjects were categorized into Never-owned pets, Always-owned pets, Owned-in-childhood-only, and Owned-in-adulthood-only groups ( ns = 25). Subjects were asked about their present and past ownership and experiences, and the attitudes toward ownership of pets by their grandparents and parents. Although the literature suggests that childhood experiences strongly affect adults' attitudes toward pets, there were no differences in attitudes between adults who had always owned pets and those who owned pets only during adulthood. These two groups had significantly more grandparents and parents who owned pets than did the other two groups. Significantly more subjects who had owned pets only during childhood reported unpleasant experiences with pets than did subjects of the other three groups. Subjects who had owned pets only during adulthood were persuaded by their children or significant others to acquire pets to which they became very attached.

And Gender

A study explored influence of pretrial publicity and gender identity on verdicts and severity of sentence in a mock rape trial. Mock jurors and judges were exposed to four pretrial publicity conditions before watching a simulated rape trial. After viewing the trial, jurors rendered a verdict (guilty or not guilty) and judges prescribed a sentence. The Bern Sex-role Inventory was used to analyze gender identity and its relation to verdict and sentencing. Verdicts were not influenced by pretrial publicity, but sentencing was more severe following exposure of mock judges to pretrial publicity about a mistaken acquittal and less severe following exposure of these judges to pretrial publicity about a mistaken conviction. Subjects classified by the Bern inventory as feminine or androgynous rendered a verdict of “guilty” more often than subjects classified as masculine or undifferentiated. Men who rendered verdicts of “guilty” had less confidence in their judgments than men who found the defendant “not guilty.” Conversely, women who found the defendant “not guilty” expressed less confidence than women who found the defendant “guilty.” The findings are compared and contrasted with similar studies and discussed in regards to gender identity, subjects’ characteristics, and mode of presentation.
