Gender Stereotypes in the Paremiology of the Russian Language

The article includes a small study of gender types found in Russian paremio-phraseology. Gender is created by society as a social model of women and men that determines their position and role in behavior and its institutions (family, political structure, economy, culture and education, etc.). Gender systems are different in different societies, but in every society these systems are asymmetrical in such a way that men and all things "masculine" (characteristics, behaviors, professions, etc.) are considered primary, important and dominant, and women and all things which are "feminine" /woman' are defined as secondary, socially insignificant and subordinate. Paremiology is located at the intersection of phraseology and folklore, which makes the study of proverbs and sayings very important from the point of view of the modern linguistic and cultural approach. Paremiology is indicative of cultural stereotypes fixed in language. There is no doubt that there are different possibilities for self-identification, but the analysis of a large number of sections allows us to draw conclusions about dominant trends and evaluations.
