When I first saw the documentary about genders, I noticed it looked old and I was wondering possibly outdated the documentary would be. What surprised me is that the documentary is still very relevant today despite its age. It talked about sex in other organisms so we can compare how sex is for people. Sex is the biological orientation of an organism which is either a female or male. It also means a method in which an organism reproduces. In the animal world, some species have only one sex, which is the female. One such species is the tail-whipped lizard. Female sexes are technically older than the male sexes. Asexual organisms are always female. It is still a paradox why the male sex evolved in the first place. There are three theory why sex evolved in the first place hence the need for a male and female. The first theory is that sex started in cells as a form of cannibalism. The second theory is sex started as a form to transfer genes from one generation to another. The third theory is that sex started because cells wanted their flaws to be repaired by mating with other cells. This is the theory most biologists focus on because it is the one that makes most sense. How is a newly created organism, which is bisexual at first, exactly determined to be a male or female? It is very complicated. For geckos, the sex of the organism is based the temperatures at the time of incubation. Gender is a social construct, a human idea in which people are expected to fulfill a specific social role or stereotype based on their sex. For example, men are expected to be rational, strong and cannot cry. Women meanwhile are expected to be damsels in distress and be faithful to their husbands. These ideas were reinforced by society. It is implied that gender roles were formed because humans unlike other organisms can mate anytime. These roles allowed sex to be regulated and if it not regulated, society might collapse due to rampant sex. People who deviate from these social roles, usually members of the third sex like transsexuals, bisexuals, gays and lesbians are criticism or even ridiculed especially in very conservative society. There is difference between sexes due to biology and society. Male organisms usually have more testosterone hormones while female organisms have more estrogen than females. Imbalances with these two hormones can cause confusions with ones own sex. Males are way more into sex than females. Males have behaviors or look beautiful to appeal to the females they want to have sex with. These measures include courting rituals and aggressive behavior to protect their mate. Women are the one who usually decide the mate in a matriarchal society. For me, the differences between sexes due to biology matter more in all nonhuman organisms. In humans meanwhile, differences between the sexes are more on to societal influences. However, these differences due to society have historically resulted in women being the more oppressed sex.
