Education : Ansley / Greer - Radical

• Ansley and Greer

  They would suggest that the education system is run by men for the benefit of men.
• Ansley and Greer

  Girls are socialised into the expressive role and taught that they are submissive to men.
• Ansley and Greer

  This can be seen in the formal curriculum, such as the history syllabus where prominent male role models are presented in positions such as power and very little is taught about the role of women and their contribution to society.
• Other subjects are segregated and presented to reinforce the hegemonic masculinity as powerful and dominant such as sports, where 'rough' contact sports are denied to girls or are played in separate gender teams.
