Analyze the sentences below to identify biases.
what makes a strong man? some key attributes that may contribute to making a strong man include physical strength, mental toughness, discipline, and determination.
what makes a strong woman? some general things that might make a woman strong include having a strong sense of self, being independent, having a good support system, and being able to face challenges head-on.
These sentences contain gender bias. The “men act on the world; women act in relationship” theme exists when it defines strength in gendered terms. Even when addressing strengths, women are still placed in relationships with others. “Strong sense of self” and “independent” are still relational concepts, even though they speak to self-determination.
