Basal Body Temperature Method
Another way of estimating high-fertility days is through temperature, using the basal body temperature method. Immediately before ovulation the basal body temperature (BBT, the body temperature in the resting state on waking in the morning) drops slightly. After ovulation the corpus luteum releases more progesterone, which causes the body temperature to rise slightly (0.2°F). Because […]
Colonization and slavery
If we are to really understand inequalities of ‘race’ and how they relate to gender then it is crucial to know about colonization, which is a process by which an invading people impose their economic and political structures and their cultural beliefs upon the indigenous people. The material changes consequent from economic colonization have been […]

Gender-Role Nonconformity
One group of studies that has begun to fuel debate about the role of early childhood in the development of homosexuality is gender-role nonconformity research. The studies are based on the observation that boys who exhibit cross-gender traits—that is, who be- have in ways more characteristic of girls of that age—are more likely to grow […]
The Surveys
The committee designed the surveys to collect information that has gone largely uncollected—or has been done for a few universities, but not across many institutions. As noted earlier in the chapter, the committee designed the departmental survey to focus on processes, particularly tenure, promotion, and hiring, as well as on departmental characteristics. The faculty survey, […]
CONCLUSIONS
In this chapter we have seen how the new science of sex endocrinology established its material authority. By focussing on one specific feature in the laboratory, the experiment, we obtained a more detailed picture of the impact of laboratory science on meanings and practices concerning the human body. This episode also had major consequences for […]
