Race overlaps with other social categories, like ethnicity, age, class, gender, and sexuality. One doesn't stop being a woman when one is marginalized on the basis of, say, religious intolerance or racial stereotypes.
But physical appearance was not always part of the equation. Historically, the word race meant the same thing as culture: The French "race" lived in France and spoke French, and the Russian "race" lived in Russia and spoke Russian. We even refer to the "human race.".
Racial ethnicity. An ethnic group believed to also have common psychological characteristics. This is why it is common to see sociologists capitalize terms like "White" and "Black"—it's a shorthand way of indicating that we are talking about racial ethnicities rather than only skin color. Race vs. Ethnicity.

Gender Segregation. Another important social context in which children construct their gender identities is peer relationships. One of the most pervasive phenomena of early gender development is gender segregation. At 2- to 3-years-old, children begin to show a preference for same-gender playmates.
Women’s right to education also has a direct bearing on cultural rights. That culture can come into conflict with women’s rights is apparent from the history of Western restrictions on women’s education . However, this same history also reveals that culture is always changing as it is contested from within by groups with opposing standpoints. In cultures throughout the world, these diverging standpoints are often linked to gender. In Afghanistan, the Taliban’s prohibition of the education of girls is a flagrant violation of their rights under international human rights law. Less clear are the many forms of separate schools for male and female students. In Saudi Arabia, where separate schools are part of a wide system of gender segregation, the overall discrimination against women should be the focus of international human rights law despite claims to cultural or religious rights. On the other hand, France’s 2004 ban on Muslim girls wearing headscarves to school forbids a relatively harmless cultural practice in a way that limits the girls’ access to education as individuals and, arguably, infringes upon their collective cultural rights as well.
One of the most pervasive phenomena of early gender development is gender segregation. At 2- to 3-years-old, children begin to show a preference for same-gender playmates.
This tendency is referred to as gender segregation and may arise because children of the same gender share interests and interact with one another in similar ways.
The gender similarities hypothesis, proposed by Hyde (2005), states that males and females are similar on most, but not all, psychological variables. Based on a meta-analysis of 46 meta-analyses of psychological gender differences, 30% of effect sizes were trivial in magnitude ( d between 0 and 0.10) and an additional 48% were small (0.10–0.35). Gender similarities were found for self-esteem, math performance, self-disclosure, and reading comprehension. Exceptions were found for some aspects of motor performance such as throwing distance, some measures of sexuality like the prevalence of masturbation, and physical aggression, all of which showed moderate or large gender differences.
Adolescents often select romantic partners from their clique.

The social position of women began to be discussed with the onset of modernization attempts in the nineteenth century. As modernization seemed to imply Westernization, the ultimate question that reformists needed to answer was whether Islam was compatible with Western civilization and more particularly with women's rights and freedom. Different answers to that question—ranging from national modernists and Islamist reformists to religious conservatives—continue to put their stamp on the intellectual and political history of the Middle East. Analysis of these historical debates from the point of view of women's questions has shown discursive parallels in countries such as Egypt, Turkey, and Iran (Ahmed 1992, Badran 1995, Gole 1996, Najmabadi in Kandiyoti 1991 ). For progressive nationalists, the emancipation of women from ‘erroneous’ religious prescriptions and traditional ways of life was the prerequisite for national progress. Islamist reformists asserted that Islam was not a barrier to progress and that it was possible in Islam to embrace modern ideals, such as gender equality and human rights. But for conservatives, any change in the direction of Western modernity, especially pertaining to women's position in society, would have meant a loss in cultural identity and consequently, to preserve moral integrity and social cohesion, gender relationships were to be framed according to the Islamic religious law (Shari'a) as they understood it.
In the film clip from Race: The Power of an Illusion, Sociologist Melvin Oliver argues that "the things that we identify as the racial markers mean nothing unless they are given social meaning and unless there is public policy and private action that act upon those characteristics.".
