Gender Trouble Female does not equal Feminine Man does not equal Masculine

Gender Trouble: Feminism and the Subversion of Identity Gender is fluid –I am woman, but I am not all women –There is more than one defining point to what is “Gender” Identity of women is not contingent upon gender Sexuality is not underlying definitive of gender Culture does not assume gender identity –A Binary view of gender is False

Bodies That Matter: On the Discursive Limits of Sex The labels given to sex, gender, and the continuum are limited by the masculine that is language. Sexing is an example of the label Gender, Race, Class are other examples of labels Question what is normal

The Language Barrier

Bodies that Matter Gender is an indeterminant subject: it is not fixed. –Social contexts will change the sublimination of gender –Culture changes gender –Power changes individual outward appearance of genderization
