Fin dalla sua comparsa, la specie umana è drasticamente divisa in due – assecondando nel corso dei millenni falsi pretesti e credenze religiose, linguistiche, culturali e sociali. Da una parte ci sono gli uomini: corpi forti e resistenti, eroi e divinità a cui asservirsi. Dall’altra le donne: corpi deboli e fragili, ancelle destinate a servire. Questa logica primitiva è finita per essere assunta come legge trascendente attribuendo alla natura e a Dio la responsabilità di ciò che invece è stato un mero progetto umano al maschile.

In The Silver Women, Joan Flores-Villalobos argues that Black West Indian women made the Panama Canal construction possible by providing the indispensable everyday labor of social reproduction. West Indian women built a provisioning economy that fed, housed, and cared for the segregated Black West Indian labor force, in effect subsidizing the construction effort and the racial calculus that separated pay in silver for Black workers and gold for white Americans.

In Language and Mediated Masculinities, Robert Lawson draws on data to explore language and masculinities across a range of media contexts.

Unsere gesamte Kulturgeschichte ist durchdrungen von Darstellungen idealtypischer Paarbeziehungen, die – direkt oder unterschwellig – eine weibliche Unterlegenheit inszenieren. Es sind Bilder, die suggerieren, dass die Frau nur durch Unterwerfung romantische Erfüllung erlangen kann. Diese gesellschaftliche Konditionierung impft Frauen und Männern die Überzeugung ein, dass Männern alles zusteht, während von Frauen Selbstlosigkeit und Hingabe erwartet werden. Durch das erzwungene Leugnen eigener Interessen, Bedürfnisse und Wünsche wird das Selbstvertrauen der Frauen untergraben.
