Gender Influences and Differences
Here's a spot to talk about how gender might influence type expression. What similiarities and differences do we see between the people of the same type, different gender?
I'll start. I have this idea that type expression is either gender-congruent or gender-incongruent. So, if females are socialized in our culture to be supportive of others and good at relationships, then how does this influence the type expression of say, entj or intj or entp, to name a few? It's an uphill climb, that's for sure.
If males are socialized to be protective, wage-earning, and macho, how does this influence the type expression of male f types?Is it an uphill climb for them, too?
Type genesis first of all
When discussing the nature of coexistence and/or influence of gender social stereotypes we would hardly find ourselves away from questioning the base for the genesis of sociotype itselves.
As long as we don't find out exactly when and why a psyche's sociotype develops it isn't right to deny that maybe culture's effect at early ages has a large role on -determining- it.
Statistics in socionics.org on the other hand show that there's a strong tendency towards inheriting the male parent's type regardless of the child's gender, and this, being dual to mothers. An odd significant result, that may imply either sociotype has a genetic component, or an explainable milestone on human child psychology somebody else may have already answered on different words (Freudian oedipal complex isn't the same at all on women than men), or that cultural sexism goes -so- early to affect humans so that children are taught the male example is to be followed from the beginning before they really understand the magnitude and the nature of what culture is. (The stats are obviously surveyed on Russia, an average male-centrical western culture).
My own oppinion's garbage aside... I do still feel out of the stereotype and it isn't confortable... *koneko hides his Hello Kitty cellphone chain* >.>
