Document Summary
Essentialism the assumption that your social identity is profoundly determined by your physical self, identity is unchanging across time and space. Gender and colonialism colonial power both directly and indirectly worked through the structure and social relations of the sex-gender system, imposing patriarchal rule. Hegemony unequal power structures, creating dominance of one group over another. Gender policing male superiority over women and some other men requires monitoring of self and others. Heteronormativity the idea or implication that heterosexual identity is the only normal and natural expression of human sexuality, represented as ful lling and positive, deeming non-heteronormative as negative and dangerous supportive of male, dependent sexually available irrational and emotional. Hegemonic masculinity is held as opposition to all things feminine: all the norms associated with the best man" has a downside to men, wealthy, independent, white, even powerful at old age.
