putting stricter controls on women's sexual behavior than on men's FEEDBACK: In our society women are often assumed to be more passive and sexually inhibited while men are more oriented toward performance and taking pride in having a large number of sexual partners. These assumptions (which include the idea that men "do" sex to women) create a moral standard that views women who pursue sex for pleasure as morally corrupt. There are more legal controls on women's sexuality as well as the pressures of social norms to conform to a passive and monogamous sexuality. This attitude is changing slowly (as can be seen in the greater acceptance of sex outside marriage for both women and men).

Studying social networks allows researchers to see the pattern of relationships that shapes the course of a disease. Understanding these networks can help educators and heath care providers slow the spread of infection. And an individual's sexual health is dependent on access to education, family structure, behavior, and health care. All of these factors are shaped by social inequality.

institutional arena

social space in which relations between people in common positions are governed by accepted rules of interaction

Angela, who identifies as heterosexual, has been encouraged to invite her boyfriend to family events and her parents were happy to pay for her prom dress. Niki, who identifies as lesbian, is unable to bring a possible romantic interest to a family dinner or to attend her high school prom with her girlfriend. Niki's experience is in part a result of what issue that makes it difficult for lesbians and gays to pursue romantic relationships? social stigma romantic ideology endogamy utilitarian love

some public schools choose not to hold official proms, thereby tacitly supporting racially segregated private proms FEEDBACK: When public schools decide not to sponsor proms because they do not want racially integrated proms or because they do not want to recognize same-sex couples, the result may be that parents and other organizations host proms that reflect those desires. These public schools are certainly aware of this potential and likely outcome and, by refusing to sponsor integrated and openly welcoming proms, they implicitly support segregated private proms.

The notion that sexual orientation is not the same as behavior means that _____. someone who has a romantic relationship with someone of the same sex is gay people always behave in line with their identities sometimes people who identify as gay or lesbian have heterosexual romantic relationships sexual behavior determines sexual identity

sometimes people who identify as gay or lesbian have heterosexual romantic relationships FEEDBACK: Sexual orientation is an identity people claim that reflects which genders they are romantically attracted to. Though this pattern of attraction exists on a continuum, most people identify as heterosexual or homosexual and our society encourages this either-or identity. Even though people may identify as heterosexual, they may engage in romantic relationships with same-gender people and not alter their identities.

the importance of social influences on biology FEEDBACK: This is one example of how biological forces often operate in the background and are influenced by social constructs (in this case the designation of workdays and weekends).
