3 waves - review - and mine

Waves in academia

1. went along with others' thinking:  women different
   Marx:  property  Engels on family:   foundation of exploitation - people isolated under separate roofs.             women lumpenproletariat
   Durkheim: man's tastes, aspirations and humour have in large part of collective origin, while his companion's are more directly influenced by her organism
   Weber:  woman is dependent b/c of the normal superiority of th physical and intellectual energies of the male
   Gilman
   Parsons:  socialization function

2. equality:  push for.  Hochschild "Marxist" - 2nd shift imposed exploitation

3. "doing" gender:  West and Zimmerman

4. intersectionality Patricia Hill Collins read AnJanette paper

5. me:  different each have two sides, but together we are on a side
   Instrumental and expressive study among on-liners

History

up to industrial revolution, men and women seen as different, and women abused (killed, raped) but at same time, ea had a place
    no ownership
    children
    prostitutes - courtesans
    sex was for procreation - (in Xtian West - sex on Wed & Fri)
But also, at the same time, just seen as different parts of puzzle

Bec we were not in cities, but, rather, in agricultural and village settings, two different functions, both required - not so much one better because not all oriented to the marketplace where equality could (seemingly) be measured.

INDUSTRIAL REVOLU

cities factories
men into factories
children into schools (1850)
takes women's functions away

upper class began to focus on childhood as a distinct period; earlier (see in art) children were miniature adults

now children were "something to do" - raise them - but whereas once raising children was both for men and women, now for women.  Earlier child rearing texts referred to fathers and mothers

now "mom"

Recent history - since mid 1800s

• when mfg of cloth, leather and clothes moved from shop to factory, women became consumers rather than producers

• factories:  collect men and put woman at home (alone) - did "piece work"

• public education:  took away woman's function as educators

• invention of department stores - removed women's job as seamstress

  urbanization and industrial revolution set back women

• glorification of children brought some of it back, but mid 18th century it was shared by mother and father prior to that, on the land

• prior to that - part of the natural order

  • complementarities more than inequalities

  • abused as "weaker" sex & at hands of testosterone, but venerated in cultures in their own way, along with man

(and look at it today!  Sex in kindergarten)

so woman marginalized - no count.  frivolous.

time to be "femmy"

both both, work is diced up (whereas used to make whole things, like boots, wagons, shirts, dresses)  Men "took away" women's great occupation (besides prostitution)  dressmaking.  Department stores came into being.

cloth could be sent to homes (parts could not, not so easily)

• 1850s - school

• 1860s - nursing (Civil War)

• 1870s

• 1880-1930 50 years of womanhood

• marriage - monogamy

• fruit fly study

• 1930s depression (women always the poorest)

• 1940's war - women to work

• 1946-1960 - American Dream (more fruit fly)

• 1960's sex

• 1970s shoulder pads FOR MEN, equality not as attractive

• 1980s aids

• 1990s intersectionality

• 2000s sex changes

why went weird - cuz never accept that there ARE differences and we each/both benefit from "liberation"

TODAY's quiz:  how to women know they are in love - how do men know?  and at end - how know they ARE loved.

• Eisler - thought women were sex objects. could not understand a "linking" culture.

• still in pursuit of nature v. nurture:  2 infant studies: 

  • mobile and faces

  • Jack-in-the-box:  angry or scared

• Primary characteristics - at birth X and Y - chromosomes and genitalia
  brains develop differently (lateralization and corpus collosum)

• Secondary characteristics - at puberty:  hair and voice for boys; menses for girls

• Cultural characteristics:  imposed both on Primary and Secondary <-- but various
  ...7 year old confirmation (but for both - age of "reason")
  ...12-13 year old gender specific (bar mitzvah, sweet 16, quinceanera, American Indian tribe celebration of women's menses, Muslim 13 prayers and obligations of Sharia - primitive society - off in a tent; West African society, circumcision at 18-21, "debuts" (even in the Philippines, not just 1920s America)
