2.
Please write an immediate description of a person that comes to mind when the following words are read: (1) impotent man, (2) lesbian, (3) flasher, (4) frigid woman, (5) AIDS victim.
Do you think a male would show stronger negative reactions than female? Discuss why this might be so (males are expected to be sexually dominant; women are socialized to be more nurturing).
Also – do you think your responses might have been different if DSM-5 language had been used, such as erectile dysfunction or exhibitionist. Do you think changes in names would effectively prevent stereotypic attitudes and discriminatory behavior?
