Paradoxes of Gender ReviewThe first third of Paradoxes of Gender is a brilliant deconstruction of Western society's concept of gender. With the relentlessness and subtlety of a sledgehammer, Judith Lorber points out the illogic in the ways that we "do" gender. Her explanations are lucid, clear, and unarguable (though you may wish to). She also provides compelling rationales for some of the most puzzling aspects of gender and sex relations.
Unfortunately, after she finishes with that, I feel that she's rather uncritical in finding evidence for the history of gender, and starts to ascribe motive to the ways that society subjugates women. This is painful for me, because I largely agree with her assessment of the situation, but think her evidence is poor, and that it's unneccessary for males to be *intentionally* subjugating women for that to be the end result. (Never ascribe to malice that which can be explained by stupidity.) Still, I highly recommend the first three (and perhaps four) chapter as practically *required* reading for understanding the arbitrary nature of gender in our society.Paradoxes of Gender OverviewThis feminist work draws from a wide range of critical, social and historical research to suggest that today's gender system is a constructed institution - designed to produce a subordinate class (women) to be exploited as workers, sexual partners, childbearers and nurturers.
