These instructional activities are designed for teachers to use with junior high students. They serve as a brief yet practical introduction to the issue of sexism as it affects men. The first section provides background information about the issue of male sex role stereotyping. It is for the teacher's use only. It describes the techniques society employs to instill sex-typed behavior, the characteristics of the male stereotype, and the high cost of this masculine mystique. The second section contains classroom strategies and lesson plans intended to help students identify, analyze, and evaluate the male role stereotype and sex role stereotyping in general. When students become aware of how society channels them into sex role stereotypes, they will be better prepared to make independent decisions about the lifestyles and goals they wish to pursue based on their own values, interests, and abilities. It is important to note that the male stereotype discussed in these materials is characteristic of white, mainstream, United States culture. (Author)
