Question

Briefly describe the importance of the Tchambuli/Chambri culture in the study of gender roles.

Answer 1

Answer:

The Tchambuli/Chambri are important to the study of gender roles because their culture demonstrates the socially constructed nature of gender roles. In the Tchambuli culture, males and females demonstrate gender roles in a manner opposite to the traditional American conception of gender roles, meaning that men behave in a manner most Westerners would consider feminine and women behave in a manner most Westerners would consider masculine. This is evidence that gender roles are mutable and are at least partially socially constructed.
