PurposeStudies indicate that a managerial pro‐male bias still exists. While managers and females have begun to view women as possessing managerial attributes, male students, on average, still tend to stereotype the managerial role using a pro‐male bias. Based on research by Heilman and by Lord and Maher, the purpose of this paper is to propose that business students, who are exposed to a curriculum that emphasizes the importance of diversity, as recommended by AACSB, will exhibit fewer gender stereotypes.Design/methodology/approachUsing the Schein Descriptive Index, three groups of university students were surveyed to determine whether individuals exposed to formal management education experience a reduction in "men as manager" stereotypes. The hypothesis was tested using interclass correlation coefficients (r′) from two randomized‐groups analysis of variance.FindingsThe hypothesis was not supported and the findings indicate that students in the business administration program stereotyped the managerial role to a greater degree than those not enrolled in the business administration program.Research limitations/implicationsFurther studies should be conducted to determine if the findings of this particular study are universal across college campuses.Practical implicationsBusiness schools must evaluate the methods that are being used to teach diversity in management education.Originality/valueThe authors' unique approach focuses on the sample as an important element when studying gender bias in management. Given the state of the economy and the cuts to university programs, by determining where bias occurs, diversity education in the university environment can be better utilized for optimal impact.

My purpose was to investigate the effects of gender and sex-role orientation on attitudes toward autoeroticism/masturbation, abortion, pornography, homosexuality, premarital sex, and sexual coercion among Turkish university students. Participants were 468 undergraduate students from
3 large urban universities in Ankara. The Turkish version of the Bem Sex-Role Inventory (BSRI; Bem, 1974) and the Sexual Knowledge and Attitude Test for Adolescents (SKAT-A; Fullard, Johnston, & Lief, 1998) were used to collect data. Results revealed no sex-role orientation effect on sexual
attitudes. Furthermore, no gender differences were observed in attitudes toward masturbation, homosexuality, and premarital sex. The attitude subscales on which meaningful gender differences were found were abortion, pornography, and sexual coercion. Findings are discussed with respect to
the role of Turkish culture in the development of attitudes toward sexuality.

When Sex Became Gender is a study of post-World War II feminist theory from the viewpoint of intellectual history. The key theme is that ideas about the social construction of gender have its origins in the feminist theorists of the postwar period, and that these early ideas about gender became a key foundational paradigm for both second and third wave feminist thought. These conceptual foundations were created by a cohort of extraordinarily imaginative and bold academic women. While discussing the famous feminist scholars-Simone de Beauvoir, Margaret Mead-the book also hinges on the work of scholars who are lesser known to American audiences-Mirra Komarovsky, Viola Klein, and Ruth Herschberger, The postwar years have been an overlooked period in the development of feminist theory and philosophy and Tarrant makes a compelling case for this era being the turning point in the study of gender

Sex Typing and Social Roles: A Research Report is based on a sociological survey that includes topics regarding changes in sex roles. The book deals with information derived from surveys and reports on the differences and similarities between the behavior, experience, and attitudes of men and women. The book addresses, more particularly, the ongoing changes in the social positions of the sexes, for example, from women's rights and privileges as a ""private issue"" to a public-policy issue. The book also reviews the work motives, the female role, constraints, and emotions (sadness) encountered

"Sexe, genre et identité ne se distinguent plus, ils se confondent. À la suite des colloques d'août 2010 à Nouméa et d'octobre de la même année à Nanterre, les actes de Sexe, genre, identité posent une réflexion pluridisciplinaire autour de la domination et de l'inégalité des sexes. Sillonnant les champs culturels et littéraires de l'Océanie, de l'Occident, de l'océan Indien et du monde arabe, les présentes contributions examinent les discours, les significations et les modalités selon lesquelles opèrent les notions de masculin, féminin, sexe et genre. Comment interpréter les signes de la confusion ou de la distinction de sexe et de genre? Dans l'espace social, la séparation des genres correspond-elle à une séparation des sexes, à l'expression d'un ordre sexué du monde? Modalité de l'organisation sociale, le genre procède aussi du champ symbolique d'un ordre culturel et historique. L'articulation de la sexualité, des pouvoirs et des violences, qui sous-tendent les relations et les hiérarchies, révèle une identité de l'individu et du groupe en crise, et invite à la déconstruction du genre."--Page 4 of cover
