Document Summary
Quotes: talcott parsons: gendered roles and expectations exist and thus must serve some social need and fulfill a social role. Gayle rubin: central to restricting female autonomy over representations, freedom and behaviors are repressive ideologies categorizing sexual behavior as good or bad, these categories are determined by hierarchies of sexual values normalized by religion, medicine and dominant culture. Patriarchy has determined the meaning of female behavior and categorized it accordingly. Adrienne rich: objectivity is determined by male subjectivity. Jackson katz: heterosexuality & homosexuality are not objective but rather subjective, reflecting a system of inclusion or exclusion within social spaces. Sexuality is an identity based on the object of our desire, as classified by gender in contemporary understanding. The categorization of sexual behavior is relatively recent and a specific way to think about others and their sexuality. Example: heteronormative romance is signaled by boy meets girl.
