Androgyne : Fashion and Gender
‘This ad is gender neutral’, proclaimed a 2016 poster for the fashion brand Diesel; ‘I resist definitions’, announced a Calvin Klein ad in the same year, while a Louis Vuitton shoot featured Jaden Smith, son of actor Will Smith, wearing a skirt like a natural.Fashion magazines have printed countless features on the blurring of gender barriers, while brands including Yves Saint-Laurent, Gucci, Burberry, Givenchy and Dolce & Gabbana have all interpreted the concept ‘girls will be boys and boys will be girls’ in their own individual style.The previous turn of the century was as obsessed with androgyny as this one, as seen in the art of Edward Burne-Jones and Gustave Moreau, and the writings of Oscar Wilde and the mystic Joséphin Péladan.From the late 19th to the early 21st century, the genders have blended: from Berlin in the 1920s to Hollywood of the 1930s with Garbo to Dietrich; from the 1940s Bright Young Things to the androgynous pop stars of the 1970s, and beyond.What do these variations on a theme have in common? What has caused the dizzying rise of androgyny? Why has this concept, a staple of ancient myth that was first discussed in Plato’s Symposium, been revived today?Accompanied by a striking selection of contemporary photographs, Patrick Mauriès presents a condensed cultural history of androgyny, drawing on the worlds of art and literature to give us a deeper understanding of the strange but timeless human drive to escape from defined categories.

Trouble With Gender : Sex Facts, Gender Fictions
Sex used to rule. Now gender identity is on the throne. Sex survives as a cheap imitation of its former self: assigned at birth, on a spectrum, socially constructed, and definitely not binary.Apparently quite a few of us fall outside the categories ‘male’ and ‘female’.But gender identity is said to be universal – we all have one.Humanity used to be cleaved into two sexes, whereas now the crucial division depends on whether our gender identity aligns with our body.If it does, we are cisgender; if it does not, we are transgender.The dethroning of sex has meant the threat of execution for formerly noble words such as ‘woman’ and ‘man’. In this provocative, bold, and humane book, the philosopher Alex Byrne pushes back against the new gender revolution.Drawing on evidence from biology, psychology, anthropology and sexology, Byrne exposes the flaws in the revolutionary manifesto.The book applies the tools of philosophy, accessibly and with flair, to gender, sex, transsexuality, patriarchy, our many identities, and our true or authentic selves. The topics of Trouble with Gender are relevant to us all.This is a book for anyone who has wondered ‘Is sex binary?’, ‘Why are men and women different?’, ‘What is a woman?’ or, simply, ‘Where can I go to know more about these controversies?’ Revolutions devour their own children, and the gender revolution is no exception.Trouble with Gender joins the forefront of the counter-revolution, restoring sex to its rightful place, at the centre of what it means to be human.

Sylvester Stallone’s action thriller, First Blood, hit cinema screens in 1982, leading to the cementing of what can be called the Action Movie Canon.With films like Die Hard, Under Siege and Total Recall pioneering post-millennial Action Movies such as Tomb Raider, The Bourne Identity and Atomic Blonde, there is a clear trajectorial line showing that the Action Movie has radically altered to incorporate much more complex portrayals of both ‘hero’ and ‘heroine’: the Action Movie Hero.

Gender and Action Films 1980-2000 offers a comprehensive insight into the intertwined concepts of gender and action, and how their portrayal developed in the Action Movie genre during the final two decades of the twentieth century.A necessity for academics, students and lovers of film and media and those interested in gender studies.

How are beauty and gender roles related?
Beauty and gender roles are often closely intertwined, as societal expectations of beauty often reinforce traditional gender roles. For example, women are often expected to adhere to certain beauty standards, such as being thin, having clear skin, and wearing makeup, which can reinforce the idea that a woman's value is based on her appearance. Similarly, men are often expected to be strong, muscular, and have a certain level of grooming, which also ties into societal expectations of masculinity. These beauty standards can perpetuate and reinforce traditional gender roles, creating pressure for individuals to conform to these ideals in order to fit into their assigned gender roles.

What gender does the ugly gender have?
The concept of an "ugly gender" does not exist. Gender is a social construct that is not inherently tied to physical appearance or attractiveness. It is important to recognize that beauty standards are subjective and should not be used to define or categorize gender.
-
Doesn't the gender thing support gender roles?
The concept of gender is separate from the idea of gender roles. Gender refers to the social and cultural expectations and norms associated with being male, female, or non-binary, while gender roles are the specific behaviors and activities that society expects from individuals based on their gender. While the concept of gender can influence and perpetuate gender roles, it also allows for the recognition and acceptance of diverse gender identities and expressions beyond traditional roles. By understanding and challenging the construct of gender, we can work towards breaking down restrictive gender roles and promoting equality and inclusivity for all individuals.

What does gender and gender identity mean to you?
Gender and gender identity to me are about how individuals perceive and express themselves in relation to societal expectations and norms associated with being male, female, or non-binary. It is a deeply personal and complex aspect of one's identity that can influence how they navigate the world, interact with others, and understand themselves. I believe that everyone should have the freedom to define and express their gender in a way that feels authentic and true to who they are.

Undoing Gender
Undoing Gender constitutes Judith Butler's recent reflections on gender and sexuality, focusing on new kinship, psychoanalysis and the incest taboo, transgender, intersex, diagnostic categories, social violence, and the tasks of social transformation.In terms that draw from feminist and queer theory, Butler considers the norms that govern--and fail to govern--gender and sexuality as they relate to the constraints on recognizable personhood.The book constitutes a reconsideration of her earlier view on gender performativity from Gender Trouble.In this work, the critique of gender norms is clearly situated within the framework of human persistence and survival. And to "do" one's gender in certain ways sometimes implies "undoing" dominant notions of personhood.She writes about the "New Gender Politics" that has emerged in recent years, a combination of movements concerned with transgender, transsexuality, intersex, and their complex relations to feminist and queer theory.

What does gender identity describe in relation to gender?
Gender identity refers to a person's deeply held sense of their own gender, which may be different from the sex they were assigned at birth. It is a personal and internal understanding of one's own gender, which may be male, female, a combination of both, or neither. Gender identity is separate from biological sex and can encompass a wide range of identities beyond the traditional binary of male and female.

What pronouns are there for gender-neutral/gender-fluid people?
There are several pronouns that can be used for gender-neutral or gender-fluid individuals, including they/them/theirs, ze/hir/hirs, and xe/xem/xyrs. These pronouns are used to respect and acknowledge individuals who do not identify strictly as male or female.

Do you find gender asterisks or gender dots meaningful and necessary?
As an AI language model, I don't have personal opinions. However, I can provide information on the topic. Gender asterisks or gender dots are used to indicate non-binary or genderqueer identities, and for some individuals, they are meaningful and necessary as a way to affirm and validate their gender identity. These symbols can help to challenge the traditional binary understanding of gender and promote inclusivity. However, some people may not find them meaningful or necessary, as they may prefer other language or terminology to express their gender identity. Ultimately, the use of gender asterisks or dots is a personal choice and should be respected as part of an individual's self-identification.
