is gender qualitative or quantitative?
150270
Gender is qualitative, its a quality we have. You cannot measure gender in any type of unit. Just as you cannot accurately say that this pillow is 8 soft and that pillow is 2 soft, you cant accurately say that this person is 8 male or 2 male, or 8 female or 2 female.

Qualitative analysis answers the question what substances or elements are within a sample. Quantitative analysis answers the question how much of these substances are within the sample.\n\nIn both cases, a negative answer means "we didn't find anything using the methods we had", not "there isn't anything of this substance inside".

La computadora is feminine, but the person who operates the computer is el ordinador, which is masculine. This is typical of the Spanish approach that guys are in charge of everything while women do the actual work...\nActually, who knows why everything is assigned a gender and who chooses the genders? A lot of them make no sense at all. But the French do it too, and the Italians, and the Germans (although they have a neutral case as well, Der, Die and Das, or masculine, feminine and neuter).

Someone's been reading Ursula K. Le Guin.   Interesting stuff...have a look at Left Hand of Darkness if you haven't already read it.\n\nDo you mean gender, a sociological construct, or sex, a physical one?  If you mean gender, well, get a big pitcher and some pizza and several good friends, because it's a long discussion in the making.

I think both of the gender.

First, good for you!  \n\nThe cross-cultural study of sexuality and gender is incredibly complex, and 7-10 minutes is short! Also, worldwide statistics on sexuality are not easy to come by.\n\nHowever, I'll do my best to give you references to some sources where you can begin to get an overview of your topic.\n\nHere's a book that might be of interest:\nBrettell and Sargent, Gender in Cross-Cultural Perspective\n\nCheck the wikipedia sites I've placed below.  Native American constructions of gender and sexuality might be a good place to start, since I assume it's "closer to home" for most of your classmates.\n\nAnd then follow some of the links in at the bottom of the secon wiki article. Note especially the terms "mudang, "kathoe," "hijra," and "mahu."\n\nI hope this helps -- if you need further assistance, either add to or edit this question or post another one -- I'll keep an eye out!

Sex refers to biological differences; chromosomes, hormonal profiles, internal and external sex organs.\n\nGender describes the characteristics that a society or culture delineates as masculine or feminine.

Female ... pretty good at both ... probably better at English/humanities .... testing the "males are better at math, females better at the arts" theory?

Women and men are different - whether these differences are biological or cultural is still up for debate. I personally think it's a mixture of the two- we teach boys and girls to be different, but there's an inherent difference too.\n\nSo what does that mean? Well, just that when dealing with someone of the opposite sex you have to keep this in mind. I'm a bloke, so if a girlfriend is complaining about her boss, I have to be careful not to try to offer her solutions but rather just listen- she wants sympathy, not new job interview techniques. Equally, if she and I have had a row, she has to understand that me watching TV for half an hour isn't avoiding the subject to get at her, but rather me calming down. It's a give-and-take situation.\n\nIt's an interesting question! I find it very reassuring to see that *both* sexes have trouble understanding the other... :-)

According to one survey done there were 2400+ men compared to 400+ women, so a 4:1 ratio of men to women. Interestingly, the bulk of male players tend to be younger, while the opposite is true for women.\nhttp://www.nickyee.com/daedalus/archives/000194.php\n\nHere is another demographic breakdown - http://blogs.parc.com/playon/archives/2005/12/gender_race_and.html\n\nOf course, this always brings up the question of character gender-bending (http://www.nickyee.com/daedalus/archives/001369.php)

Feminism: promoting the feminine or the masculine?

Qualitative variable: variables which differ in "types" and can not be ordered (e.g. gender, species, method). \nQuantitative varaible: \n\nQuantitative variable :. variables that differ in amounts or scale and can be ordered (e.g. weight, temperature, time).\n\nDiscrete variable: A variable that assumes only values in a discrete set, such as the integers. (eg gender - can be only male or female, or number of things - can only be 1, 2, 3... not 2.3 things).\n\nContinuos variable: if between the values of the variable there can be other values (eg length - can be 2.3m or something, or age - can be 1 year 3 months 5 days)\n\nDichotomous - Variables that can only take 2 different values (eg. male or female)\n\nMultinomous - variables that can take more than 2 different values.

Female. Female.\n\nYou couldn't pay me enough to be a male! I am happy as I am, thanks :-))

why would you think that? \n\nthat's not a gender dependent issue, but something much more determined by an individual personality.

I'm fairly sure it's about the same across the board- gender issues are very complex, but in a simple way, as well.\n\nI just can't say more without some details.

Qualitative refers to not measureing exact quantities, but rather how things relate. As opposed to Quantitative.\n\nFor example qualitativly it will require higher interest rates to borrow money for a riskier venture. Quantitatively it will cost you 1% increase in interest rates to purchase a rental house versus your residence.\n\nOne should be able to apply this tidbit of knowledge to forecasting methods too, although I might not know exactly what the ones are you are refering too. \n\nRather than saying how much something will be affect by an action you can say in what direction its affect will be. e.g. the city paying less to have the parks kept up will bring fewer people in to the open air market right next to the park whcih will tend to decrease the amount of business transactions. Even though more advertising by the market will increase it by a larger amount and it will go up overall. All of this as opposed to saying by how much business will be done because of these things.
