Breaking thru gender roles...

Here is an article that I discovered from academia (or academentia...haha) by Sherry Ortner, a professor from UCLA.  It's called "Is Female to Male as Nature is to Culture?"  Interesting stuff....

I didn`t read the article, but the title is just proliferating the myth of this connection between women and nature. That in itself is a social construction. I had accepted it at face value until one of my professors asked why it was true in a manner that made me realize, uh it`s not. Just another man-made social construct. But maybe I will read the article...
