reduce privilege depending on which categories we fall into. Each individual’s personal experience in a situation will differ due to intersectionality. In Heather Kuttai’s “Maternity Rolls”, we see how her experience with disability is shaped by her gender, and vice-versa. Although Kuttai does mention that being feminine was important to her prior to her accident, we see how much more important becomes afterwards (Kuttai, 2010). To Kuttai, her pregnancy is what validated her status as a feminine…

Teresa de Lauretis views gender as a representation and claims it is not an essence fundamentally determined by ‘sexual difference’ . Butler’s stance fits a similar scope claiming gender is a construction , it is not passively scripted on the body nor is it determined by factors such as nature or language . These definitions of gender essentially portray it as a…

every day. These double standards are the layer of sexism that most people hear and see in everyday life. Double standards are ideals that women are assumed and expected to abide by while men are not “needed” to because of the way society perceives gender stereotypes to be. Women are expected to fit certain physical body standards depending on age and race unlike men; too many women are ridiculed from being overweight or have stretch marks.

This misconception was started by the utterance of three words; three words that can single handily wreck a marriage. Those words being, “happily ever after.” Why are these words so detrimental? Why do men and women fight? These queries are all resolved by explaining the differences in brain wiring, interests, and communication styles all lead to the wrecker…

We have observed the morphological traits from male and female of two Bruchinae species, which are Senegalia tenuifolia seed-predators, and how these traits are influenced by the resource traits variation under different conditions such as sampling events and sites. In respect to our hypothesis in which the increase in resource quantity increases body size and biomass, we have confirmed it partially. In general, female insects tend to have a larger body size than the males, and the difference…
