  • women in sport Gender Relations and future perspectives1
    Sport in Society, 2010
    Co-Authors: Gertrud Pfister
    Abstract:

    Starting off from deliberations on the ‘nature’ and significance of Gender differences and Gender Relations, I first of all present in this contribution my theoretical framework: a constructivist approach to Gender. If Gender is understood as a social construction, Gender differences are not ‘natural’ but acquired and enacted, and also vary according to the particular social and Gender order.

This raises the question as to whether this dismantling and/or de-dramatization of Gender differences in, as well as outside, sport is a sign pointing towards a new Gender order. Or has Gender enactment become more subtle? Have Gender scripts shifted to other areas, for example to media sports with their focus on (hetero)sexuality? Which course will Gender Relations take in future, in as well as outside sport? In discussing the issues raised above, I will analyse the present situation and consider future developments with re...

    Abstract : This report presents the results of the 2006 Workplace and Gender Relations Survey of Active Duty Members (WGRA2006). The Defense Manpower Data Center (DMDC) conducted the survey as part of the quadrennial cycle of human Relations surveys outlined in Title 10 U.S. Code Section 481 which directs the Secretary of Defense to conduct cross-Service surveys on Gender issues and discrimination among members of the Armed Forces. DMDC conducted the mainly Web-based WGRA2006 in June-September 2006, with paper surveys mailed on August 1 to those who did not respond via the Web. DMDC received completed surveys from 23,595 eligible respondents for a weighted response rate of 30%. This survey was modeled on its predecessor surveys of Gender issues, the 2002 Status of the Armed Forces Survey--Workplace and Gender Relations and the Service Academy 2006 Gender Relations Survey. This report includes a description of the WGRA2006 survey; background on why this research was conducted; a summary of recent Department of Defense (DoD) policies and programs associated with Gender-Relations issues; a discussion of the measurement constructs for unwanted, Gender-related experiences, unwanted sexual contact, and sex discrimination; a description of the survey methodology; and detailed results of the findings.

  • The vasectomy option and implications for Gender Relations
    Cadernos De Saude Publica, 2020
    Co-Authors: Nadia M. Marchi, De Alvarenga At, Maria José Duarte Osis, Luis Bahamondes
    Abstract:

    A qualitative study was performed to: investigate the process that leads couples to decide for vasectomy; characterize the Gender Relations involved in this process; and identify sources of information on vasectomy. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with 20 couples who had requested vasectomy at the outpatient clinic of the Center for Integrated Women’s Health Care State University in Campinas Sao Paulo Brazil. A structured form was used to collect social economic and demographic data. The content analysis technique was used for data analysis. The majority of couples opted for vasectomy as a last resort after attempting numerous other contraceptive methods not always successfully. The emerging Gender Relations showed fluctuation between: (1) a more rigid quasi-patriarchal model characterized by male predominance in the family’s decision-making and (2) a more ambiguous model in relation to reproductive decisions whereby women assumed responsibility for contraception until the situation became untenable at which point men faced up to the unavoidable necessity of sterilization. At this point the male partners felt they should collaborate. (authors)

    2017
    Co-Authors: Elizabeth P Van Winkle, Maia Hurley, Alisha Creel, Laura Severance, Xavier Klauberg, Joseph N. Luchman, James Khun, Ronald P Vega, Mallory Mann, Amanda Grifka
    Abstract:

    Abstract : This report provides results of the 2016 Service Academy Gender Relations Survey (2016 SAGR) conducted by the RSSC within the Office of People Analytics (OPA). The Department of Defense (DoD) has continually expanded and improved sexual assault and sexual harassment programs and resources forcewide including at the Military Service Academies. Continuing evaluation of these programs through surveys is an important step towards understanding the scope of the issue, attitudes, and opinions of students on such topics, and for ultimately reducing instances of sexual assault and sexual harassment of Academy students. This report presents findings from the 2016 Service Academy Gender Relations Survey (2016 SAGR), a key source of information for evaluating these programs and for assessing the Gender Relations environment within the Academies. This Executive Summary will provide a summary of the methodology used and the top line results from the survey. The 2016 SAGR provides data across all Academies. As each Academy has unique issues, resources, and programs, the data is provided by each Academy separately as well as at the Total DoD Academy level. Below provides the background for trends regarding unwanted sexual contact by Academy. Top line results, by Academy and Gender, are presented later in this Executive Summary.
