Answered by Examlex AI CopilotInstitutionalized gender discrimination refers to the systematic and ingrained discrimination against individuals based on their gender, which is perpetuated and enforced by societal institutions such as government, laws, education, and the workplace. This type of discrimination is deeply embedded in the structure of society and can have far-reaching effects on the lives of those who are targeted.
Two examples of institutionalized gender discrimination include:
1. The gender pay gap: Women consistently earn less than men for the same work, and this wage disparity is perpetuated by institutional practices such as unequal pay scales, lack of transparency in salary negotiations, and limited opportunities for advancement.
2. Lack of representation in leadership roles: Women are often underrepresented in positions of power and leadership in various institutions, including government, corporations, and academia. This lack of representation can perpetuate gender stereotypes and limit opportunities for women to advance in their careers.
Institutionalized gender discrimination relates to heterosexism in that both are forms of systemic discrimination that perpetuate inequality and limit opportunities for individuals based on their gender or sexual orientation. Heterosexism is the institutionalized discrimination against non-heterosexual individuals, and it intersects with gender discrimination in that it can further marginalize individuals who do not conform to traditional gender norms or expectations. Both forms of discrimination contribute to a culture of inequality and oppression, and addressing one often requires addressing the other in order to create a more equitable and inclusive society.
