Читать книгу The Communication Playbook - Teri Kwal Gamble - Страница 154

Men, women, and gender-nonconforming people adopt different standpoints, perceive different realities, have different expectations set for them, and exhibit different communication preferences. Through interaction with parents, teachers, peers, and others, we internalize the lessons of appropriate male and female behavior. These lessons frame our perceptions and teach us how society expects us to behave. These constructs, however, can limit the way gender is perceived and may contribute to our being judged on the basis of gender expectations rather than observed cues or how we define our gender.
