The expansion of gender as a multidimensional construct
In trying to expand the content a little bit, I've noticed that the actual description of the traits in masculinity and femininity was not mentioned throughout the introduction of the wiki, so I've added them into this section as it seemed to be the most suitable place to do so. I've also edited the first paragraph so it fits in nicely:) Also, Uni-dimensional seems a better fit to multidimensional as than one-dimensional, since the textbook referred masculinity and femininity as separate dimensions as well.
Thank you!
I think the sentence: "[Gender Diagnositicity] is not as concrete and limited as a bipolar categorization of either masculinity or femininity. " Needs to be expanded on further. It is going back to a unidimensional masculinity-femininity scales. Here is where we can justify doing this.
I think we have mentioned the characteristics of masculinity and femininity dimensions in "Usefulness of Measuring Gender as a Personality Trait" section.
It's already be mentioned that "The masculinity dimension contains items reflecting assertiveness, boldness, dominance, self-sufficiency, and instrumentality while the femininity dimension contains items that reflect nurture, expression of emotion, and empathy."
But since this section is about the dimensioanlity I think this description suits better in this section. I will edit the one on the previous section.
Just like what I said I tried to edit one of the repeats but as I read both sections I see the necessity of mentioning the characteristics of masculinity and femininity in both section. Do anyone see which part it belongs better?
I tried to expand the sentence a little and further apply it to our topic, do you guys feel there is anything more to add or if its suitable? Also, I believe that the characteristics is better fitted here than the Usefulness session as it is not necessarily to include them, they just seem more relevant here because we are talking about exactly the dimensions:)
Thanks for tidying up the first paragraph I wrote :) I wasn't quite sure how to start the section since the page was blank but your edits make it fit nicely now!
