“…Both genders were depicted reading, studying, wearing, working, cleaning, and even playing soccer. This result suggests positive female representations through their typical material activities compared with several previous examinations (Emilia et al, 2017;Lee, 2014Lee, , 2018Lee, , 2020Lee & Chin, 2019 and is similar to Lee's (2020) finding. Both genders in Book 3 were visible in dancing, singing, playing, and writing.…”

“…Regarding typical activities through transitivity process analysis, all the material process in this study was statistically monopolized by male representations. It was similar to prior investigations (Emilia et al, 2017;Lee, 2014Lee, , 2018Lee, , 2020Lee & Chin, 2019) that also gained more male visibility in the material process that interprets doings and happenings (e.g., activeness, more actions, sportier, and demanding of higher amount energy) than females (e.g., passive, less energy). In Book 1, it was noted that the masculine pronoun he is commonly associated with physical activities.…”

This study compares gender representations in three different English textbooks from three publishers used by Indonesian Junior High School students (the Indonesian government, an Indonesian private publisher, and an International publisher). Under Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA) and Systemic Functional Linguistics (SFL), the study specifically investigated males’ and females’ representations and the typical activities associated with both genders. Overall, the results showed that males dominated all the textbooks, visually and textually. Besides that, the analysis revealed that females still have lower representations, less variation in occupations, and feminine specialization in doing the household chores in two textbooks. However, positive representations and stereotypes also appear in the textbooks, such as neutral generic constructions and typical activities by both genders.

“…In terms of family roles, women appear more than men, especially when the word "shopping" is mentioned, it is exclusively for men. Words describing men, such as father, are often followed by transitive verbs, while words describing women, such as "She", are followed by 89 transitive words related to clothing and objects [9]. They could also indicate that Hong Kong has not properly restricted publications, particularly sexist reading material.…”

The increase in popularity of higher education has improved the talent competitiveness of China on the global stage and highlighted the function of higher education in fostering social prosperity and development. But, as higher education has continued to advance, other issues have surfaced. Although enrollment chances have risen, there is still inequity in the distribution of opportunities, particularly across genders. The gender disparity in the growth of Chinese higher education is therefore examined and discussed in this article. The analysis and comparison approach is used to explain the causes and solutions to gender inequality in Hong Kong and Mainland China's higher education stages. It is discovered that there are gender bias-causing similarities and differences between Hong Kong and Mainland China. The study's findings are that traditional Chinese beliefs have an impact on gender inequality in higher education in Hong Kong and Mainland China. In several professions and textbooks in Hong Kong, there are very serious gender stereotypes, whereas, in Mainland China, gender inequality is greatly influenced by the urban-rural divide. The remedies for gender disparity examined in this research have a mitigating impact but do not actually solve the issue. China should establish policies in the future that are better suited to its own national circumstances and guarantee that the policies are implemented effectively.
