last night in class, we were in, what caster calls, a levelling-off session. to set the tone and mood for the whole semester, caster asked us to bring a piece of paper and write down the top 3 words / phrases that we commonly associate with the key words she'll give. here are my answers:
item 1: keyword = gender.
answers: female, male, everything else in between
item 2: keyword = sexuality
answers: comfort, choice, difference
item 3: keyword = sex
answers: yes, please, why not?
later on we discussed the definitions of each term. i'd say i was a teeny bit off key. hey, off key's my middle name. the word "sex" is defined in the biological context, "sexuality" is defined in the psychological context, while "gender" is defined in the socio-cultural context. well, boohoo stupid me.
i'm out.
