emily martin: “the egg and the sperm: how science has constructed a romance based on stereotypical male-female roles”

woody allen’s everything you always wanted to know about sex (but were afraid to ask)

“The theory of the human body is always a part of a fantasy” —James Hillman (Martin, 15)

“Waking up such metaphors, by becoming aware of their implications, will rob them of their power to naturalize our social conventions about gender” (25).

social constructionism Reality does not exist prior to our interpretations of it; Access to reality is socially mediated. Learning is a social process, not a passive development of behaviors. We’re influenced by the beliefs of others. Knowledge is socially constructed; knowing cannot precede social engagement.
