The New Gender Paradox - Fragmentation and Persistence of the Binary - Bok av Judith Lorber - Häftad

The New Gender Paradox - Fragmentation and Persistence of the Binary - Bok av Judith Lorber - Häftad

Today, in Western countries, we are seeing both the fragmentation of the gender binary (the division of the social world into two and only two genders) and its persistence. Multiple genders, gender-neutral pronouns and bathrooms, X designations, and other manifestations of degendering are becoming common, and yet the two-gender structure of our social world persists.

In AI We Trust - Power, Illusion and Control of Predictive Algorithms - Bok av Helga (Swiss Federal Institute of Technology (ETH) Nowotny - Inbunden
