Sei jedoch ein junges Mädchen schwanger geworden ohne verheiratet zu sein, wäre der betreffende Mann von seinen Verwandten zur Ehe gezwungen worden.

Die Menschen hätten früher länger gelebt, so schrieben die Frauen, und im Krankheitsfall sei ein witchdoctor[26] gerufen worden, der die Patienten bei ihrem Gesundungsprozeß begleitet habe.

In Fällen, in denen dabei „Hexerei“ involviert gewesen sei, hätte er die Schuldigen zur Rechenschaft gezogen.

Gender stereotypes have a dual nature i.e. they serve on the individual level to organize and simplify information available for the perceiver and on the cultural level to offer socially accepted explanations for events, to justify group status and actions and to provide a means for groups to differentiate themselves positively from other groups.

Due to the cultural-level existence of gender stereotypes, simply labeling a person a ‘woman’ or ‘man’, a ‘girl’ or a ‘boy’, conveys much information to the recipient of the communication.

The idea of the gender dualism is the basis and legitimization of the existing gender hierarchy.
