内容説明

The sixth edition of The Gendered Society explores current thinking about gender, both inside academia and in our everyday lives. Michael Kimmel challenges the claim that gender is limited to women's experiences. His compelling and balanced study of gender includes both feminine and masculine perspectives.Kimmel makes three bold and persuasive statements about gender. First, he demonstrates that gender differences are often extremely exaggerated; in fact, he argues that men and women have much more in common than we think they do. Kimmel also challenges the pop psychologists who suggest that gender difference is the cause of inequality between the sexes; instead, he reveals that the reverse is true-gender inequality itself is the cause of the differences between men and women. Finally, he illustrates that gender is not merely an element of individual identity, but a socially constructed institutional phenomenon.NEW TO THIS EDITIONA box feature called 'Read All About It!', that ties content from the text to its companion reader, The Gendered Society Reader, Sixth Edition.More "Oh Really?" and "Compared to What?" boxes.A new section on gendered communication.More coverage of transgender individuals and issues.
