Welcome



Gender. It's in immutable fact of life. Or is it?

As Third Wave Feminism and Postmodernism is building its place in society, the realization that gender and sex might simply be a social construct, something created for humans, by humans, and integrated into culture. Gender is the first question that we ask when a baby is born - "is it a boy or girl?" Why is it that important to us?

This page is going to:
  • Deal with issues surrounding gender and its close companions, sex and sexuality.
  • Interact with recent mainstream (and underground) news relating to gender issues.
  • Construct arguements about the very nature of gender, using current theory as well as history as a guide.
