Biological Sex = Chromosomes, hormones, body types
Gender = Socially created and based on exaggerated and misinterpreted biological differences (and downplaying biological similarities).
Gender identities and gender categories have evolved in some societies over the years. Yet, unfortunately, most societies insist on only having two gender categories. Patriarchy and sexism result in human-created gender nonsense on a daily basis. This is a more extreme everyday example of what some people think are the differences between women and men: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/arti...deal-them.html
There's really not a big difference between women not being allowed to drive in Saudi Arabia and what I hear Americans say all day, everyday about girls/women and boys/men. It is impossible to dismiss the Saudi Arabian gender extremes without challenging the overall structure and everyday illustrations of traditional gender in every society. All of this is about humans creating, perpetuating, and teaching what they (incorrectly) consider to be an accurate depiction of girls, boys, women, and men. It makes no sense to accept traditional gender definitions and then be shocked by extremists.

No, I meant to post that in this thread. It would be wasted in that other thread.

Saudi Arabia takes everything to the extreme, so that article shouldn't be surprising to anyone. Hell, you can't even drink in that country. No alcohol because it's illegal there.

Don't really think man was meant to experience both 79 degree and 16 degree temperatures in the same day.
Scottsdale/Phoenix, great time. Yall are on the list.
Lo-Lo's Chicken and Waffles....YES! Are yall publicly traded? I'm sure I raised your quarterly profits 4 percent by myself this week.
EDB, I love you with all I got, but if you could skip a grade (or two), I'd be much obliged. Daddy and the winter weather of the state of Ohio need to separate. Quick, fast and in a hurry. For real.

I can replace "Saudi Arabia" with the name of every patriarchal society/country/nation.

I hated to skip church this morning but I was extra tired. But, Wild Buffalo Wings does sound really good right now. Great idea.

Someone with almost 20 years in doesn't need GC to figure out what to do about an alleged perp.
*******
I look forward to the Oscars being over. So overhyped.

Stevie, you a bad dude...
Watching (DVR'd) all-star grammy salute to Stevie Wonder.
You know SW's had a phenomenal career when I want to fast-forward past artists I don't know/care to hear but can't because you don't want to miss the song performance.
...and, oh my, Annie Lennox has a tremendous voice.
