What is Sex segregation?
[[File:Restroom signs.jpg|thumb|Restrooms are often sex segregated]] '''Sex segregation''' is a highly [[controversy|controversial]] culture-related definition for separation of people according to their [[sex]]. This can occur in both public and private areas. There are four levels for sex segregation: permissive, voluntary, administrative and mandatory. It is always done in [[prison]]s and in [[military service]]. Socially it is done in sports, but not necessarily in mental sports. It is always done in schools in countries where the religion dictates it. Sex segregation is very unusual at [[primary school]] level. Religion has its effects, but the [[Christian]] religion no longer mandates separation. It once did. Clothing is the other area where differences occur. Again, Muslim countries still demand a dress code for women, but the rest of the world is more diverse. A point which is rarely made is that the simple wearing of clothes is often mandatory, and nude people may be arrested. Practice varies at certain places, such as the [[Seaside resort|seaside]]. == Related pages == *[[Racial segregation]] *[[Sexism]] *[[Social isolation]] {{politics-stub}} [[Category:Controversies]] [[Category:Gender]]
