Gender
Jan 04, 2005Are gender roles and differences fixed, once and for, all by biology? Or is gender socially constructed and culturally variable?
一个人成为女人意味着什么?虽然在人类历史的大部分时间里,这个问题的答案似乎是显而易见的,但现代女权主义思想反对许多长期以来关于性别的观点。性别只是社会建构的吗?那些自认为是女人的人,真的是女人吗?
Amia Srinivasan references the work of Simone de Beauvoir and Judith Butler as she discusses these questions as guest on thePhilosophy Bites'podcast,"What is a Woman?"
