Document Summary

Gender is a set of meanings (wilchins, 23) Gender refers not to something we are but to something we do, which, through extended repetition achieves the appearance of a sort of coherent psychic substance (24) Dress codes: graceful, gentle, powerful, confident, grooming habits (long hair=femininity , style and aesthetics (high heel shoes, caring, assertive short=masculinity) Women who don"t adopt competition or these values won"t be challenged and demonstrate leadership. Analytic reading: daily life, assumptions: social norms of gender, origins of gender norms, limits of gender, instability in gender norms and codes, violence enacted through gender normalization. [ if our gender is largely taken for granted, what happens when we start to examine our gender as something produced? ] We begin to develop consciousness over the conditions of gender difference and gender inequality. Although gendered oppression may be universal, consciousness of oppression may not be. Sandra bartky argues that the process of building consciousness transforms the way we see the world.
