QUESTION 3

“When we start thinking about gender as a category for analysis, we’re thinking about the ways in which masculinity and femininity are produced in our world. How is it they are produced, reproduced and understood? To understand this we need to explore the differences between masculinity and femininity and the relationship between sex, sexuality and gender. These constructions of social categories combine in particular ways. We need to think not just about gender and norms, but also about gender’s relationship to biological sex.” (P. 78)
