Many men seemed to alternate between periods of cooperation and resistance. When they were resisting, they often did tasks in a distracted way, dissociating themselves from the domestic act at hand. In this manner, Evan Holt forgot the grocery list, burned the rice, didn’t know where the broiler pan was. Such men withdrew their mental […]

Images of Aging
Images of old women in literature and myth are almost universally negative. The terms crone and hag continue to evoke powerful images when reading English literature. Fairy tales from a variety of cultures convey the idea of evil and dangerous old women (e. g., Hansel and Gretel, Sleeping Beauty, and Snow White). Indeed, witches in […]
DISCUSSION
Not unlike other political bloggers (McKenna & Pole, 2008), the women in this study are well — educated and concentrated in occupations that emphasize writing, namely academia and journalism. More than half of the respondents interviewed in this study earned a master’s or higher degree, compared to less than half of average political bloggers (McKenna […]
The Sexual Response Cycle in Men
The sexual response cycle in males is similar to that of females, with vasocongestion and myotonia leading to physiological changes in the body (see Figure 10.5). However, in men the four phases are less well defined. During the excitement phase, the penis, like the clitoris in women, begins to fill with blood and become erect. […]
Resistance to notions of gender equality
Throughout history, subgroups of the African population have renounced the practice of female genital mutilation for one reason or the other: be it the death of a whole cohort of circumcised girls or a prolonged contact with non-practising societies. In Mali, efforts to fight this practice started in the late fifties, evolving into the current […]

Occasionally, a gay man, lesbian, or bisexual individual will find others abruptly opening the closet door for him or her. Outing is the term for the public disclosure of someone’s secret homosexual orientation by someone else. Otherwise, being homosexual usually requires ongoing decisions […]
RECOMMENDATIONS
The survey data suggest that positive changes have taken place and continue to occur. At the same time, the data should not be mistakenly interpreted as indicating that male and female faculty in math, science, and engineering have reached full equality and representation, and we caution against premature complacency. Women remain underrepresented among science and […]
The Sexual Response Cycle in Women
Sexual response patterns vary among women (and in the same woman depending on her menstrual cycle). These variations can be attributed to the amount of time spent in each phase. For example, more time spent during arousal in foreplay may result in a greater orgasmic response. The intensity of the response may also be affected […]
The Materialism of Standpoint
In particular, I will suggest that, like the lives of proletarians according to Marxian theory, women’s lives make available a particular and privileged vantage point on male supremacy, a vantage point that can ground a powerful critique of the phallocratic institutions and ideology that constitute the capitalist form of patriarchy… I will suggest that the […]
