"Gender studies are a sociological study because there is no gender without some social structure enforcing it."
Everything is a social construct, right... Really heady, intelligent stuff. Extremely interesting. Mindblowing.
"Not all societies abide the gender binary."
There are also a lot of societies where women are considered inferior and don't have any rights.
- paulryanrogers 5y agoAre your trying to say that gender is defined exclusively by presence/absence of Y chromosome? If so should we have a gender for YY? What about those whose genes express with both male and female parts? Must such distinctions be legally regulated?
