	Ideologies typically have both a "scientific" expression and a "religious" expression. The religious expression of gender ideology is present in stories and monologues that suggest, for example, that women are weak temptresses. The scientific expression of gender ideology is expressed in notions of genetically/naturally based differences, with men being considered stronger/more evolved, and women being seeing as weaker/less advanced.

			In the German Ideology, marx suggests that ideology has no history, and that it is a dream (unreal), though there may be history in it. Althusser disagrees, ideologies have a history of their own, determined by class struggle. This seems to be empirically true.
