The Gendered Society

Rating:
Summary: A rare book
Review: I highly respect a writer who does not follow trends.Who
looks at society and the so called "gender differences"
as cultural rather than fixed biological traits.
Difference is a matter of cultural conditioning,expecting
differences and enhancing them through reinforcing
sterotypes and myths about boys,girls,men and women.
I can understand the writers frustration with the status quo
gender typing going on in America today.Gender and "differences"
has become a national obsession.Freedom is but a word if the
individual is not honored and nutured.
He leaves so much room for the reader to think.He is not
preachy or arrogant.He gives the human race room for variation,
rather than fixed static hard wired traits believed to be the
norm by most gender study writers.
Very happy to see someone standing up for the human race,
rather than dividing it into opposing sexes.
Great book for readers who feel fenced in by sexism,pop science
and writers trying to make a buck from the gender "difference"
craze.

Summary: The Gendered Society
Review: One of the best studies of the cultural forces that determine what we believe we are supposed to be and to think. It will take strong people to go against these rule and to move us toward a society that allows both women and men to live in love and freedom.
