52 views3 pages

Document Summary

Themes to keep in mind for today"s lecture: Sex differences, changing ideas of gender, and gender based violence. Transgendered women have been marginalized versus cisgendered women have not. Women wearing the hijab or burka have been marginalized when others who dress freely are not; ability to dress is seen as a gain. Political leaders, pop icons, icons of motherhood etc. Because of how the category women is conventionally defined and described. Because of how their actions challenge conventional or normal usual ways of understanding how our social world is organized and lived. Another less common way of understanding these terms (from kate bornstein) Gender: all those attributes that result in a individual being routinely categorized as male or female, including both behaviours and biology. Clearly, gender and sex are complex terms; there is no one single way to define them.
