Emile Durkheim’s theories on social solidarity have been leading the debate on the effects of a shift between two types of solidarity for decades. Solidarity can be seen as the bonding force that hold our societies together. One type of solidarity is mechanical solidarity. Mechanical solidarity is a society that functions as a collective, like a machine, with the same goals, dreams and fears that are driven by the ideals of a god or religious figure.

One of the main points that I found to be interesting in Chapter 3, Leaning Gender, is that “sex is a biological fact and gender is the societal interpretation of that fact” (117). This idea is so complicated and ambiguous that the topic of gender is always a hot issue. The book goes on to talk about how things in nature can be male and female.
