Now I'm a little calmer and astounded that they are attempting to pawn that off as some sort of satirical piece? No way in hell! She was serious and utilized many classic arguments made from within the patriarchy to maintain the status-quo. The focal point for me being her use of flawed biological or "evolutionary evidence" to "prove" that the way that women have been forced to live and function in society is actually the only way that they can be successful: that somehow a woman in the kitchen, taking taking care of her men, is actually how "nature intended it". AGH! I think its perfect that we are discussing the difference between biological sex and cultural gender next week. There is no limit to how crippling limitations imposed by cultural gender can be... so much so that they can appear to be immutable and/or genetic.Derekhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05740843642519577449noreply@blogger.com
