Reading reading reading. Book after book. Articles. Online discusions. Everything on one of the (maybe even THE) major dicotomies we use to organize the world. Man/woman. And is there really anything new? Sex/gender. Masculinity/feminity. Masculinities/femininities. Gender structure. Gender contract. THE MAN being represetive for mankind. Being the norm. And the woman being the second sex. Being the other. Structures that have been built in to our society and culture for thousands of years. And all theses texts. Lifting up the problems. Shedding light on the structures. Bringing the opression/surpression in to the open. So what? Can anything really change? This is huge! It feels to big. How can anyone hope to make a difference? It mostly just making me extremly depressed. Happy international womens day!...
