Indeed, speaking of gender constructions that IS Michael/Michelle Cimino in the front row.

[neurasthenic]

jane campion fucking kicks ass!

[captainadam1]

Is that Cimino in the front row?

Margaret Thatcher and a host of other female leaders has taught us, they are not nurterers. Is Campion this fucking shallow?

But aren't biological ones psycholgical as well? They overlap.

Call me anti-feminist, but I believe that gender roles are both biological and socially-constructed.

I think the world would be a safer place if gender categories would disappear. I don't know if women and men have different innate qualities (beyond biological ones), the same way I don't know if black people have an innate talent to play jazz, or if asians are contemplative by nature. I believe it's just a matter of social and cultural heritage, but if is not, I don't think praising that differences is the best way to equality...
