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...
