Download or read book Femininity written by Riccardo Dri and published by Universal-Publishers. This book was released on 2024-09-01 with total page 402 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this thought-provoking book, the author explores the intricate dynamics of gender identity, challenging conventional ideas about what defines being a man or a woman. The narrative underscores the critical distinction between sex—biological differences—and gender—socially constructed roles. It argues that understanding identity requires recognizing the influence of both biological and cultural factors. The book begins by questioning the validity of traditional gender definitions, proposing that identity is shaped by a complex interplay between nature and culture. It delves into the philosophical aspects of life and death, suggesting that gender identity is not merely a conscious choice but a result of both biological and societal forces. Further, it scrutinizes gender theory, critiquing the notion that gender identity can be chosen independently of biology. The author asserts that while social constructs play a role, biological differences are also crucial in shaping who we are. The text also traces the historical impact of gender roles, highlighting how traditional paradigms have perpetuated inequality and how advancements like birth control have facilitated the emancipation of women. Ultimately, the book advocates for a nuanced understanding of gender identity, emphasizing the need to critically examine societal norms and promote greater equality and autonomy. It calls for philosophical inquiry to challenge ingrained assumptions, offering profound insights for both men and women, though it suggests men, in particular, may gain from its exploration of femininity. This nearly 600-page volume offers a comprehensive analysis that is difficult to condense, but it promises to touch deep layers of our understanding of gender and identity. Woman gives us life, nurtures us, shares intimacy, and embraces us in death, embodying the cycle of existence, which is inherently feminine. Man, emerging from this feminine essence, realizes he is both her son and brother, sharing the human experience. "At this point, why not speak of universal incest? We didn't seek another half but discovered an inseparable entity in the incomprehensible whole. Thus, we were brothers in myth, before incest became sacrilegious."

Download or read book Toxic Femininity written by Ralph Calabrese and published by . This book was released on 2021-08-02 with total page 206 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Description In Toxic Femininity Ralph Calabrese goes where most authors wouldn't dare by exposing the dark side of the feminine. There simply aren't any platitudes to describe the contents in this book. Only Shakespeare could offer such prose. However, even if you're a credentialed academic or confused adolescent, this book will speak directly to you, if not through you. This is a Blue-Collar analysis of psychology and philosophy. Armed only with Experience and defended by Reality, he brings a level of pragmatism that simply cannot be found in the theoretical halls of academia. Through one encounter with a kitten and stray cats, he was able to deconstruct Communism and The Theory of Evolution, rendering Karl Marx and Charles Darwin as obsolete in assessing present-day human behaviors and motivations. His efforts have presented some of the most important discoveries to humanity in the past several hundred years. All told with humility and at times humor. So, from kittens to communism, Cinderella and Prince Charming, LeBron vs Jordan, technology and teachers, or Tyson and Oprah, there is definitely a perspective or view represented for all readers. Wisdom "Wisdom is gained through experience. Experience comes from taking chances. Taking chances requires initiating action. Initiating action takes independent thought. Independent thought means questioning the norm. Questioning the norm demands one stand on their own!" -Ralph Calabrese About the Author Ralph Calabrese is an Uneducated, Straight, White, Male, who identifies as a Stay-At-Home Dad, Husband, Former Factory Worker, and Non-Combat Disabled Veteran. He is the founder and creator of www.clearourconscience.com, The Theory of Perceived Authority, and Cryopeutic Meditation.

Download or read book Having a Good Cry written by Robyn R. Warhol and published by Ohio State University Press. This book was released on 2003 with total page 182 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Robyn R. Warhol's goal is to investigate the effects of readers' emotional responses to formulaic fiction of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries on gendered subjectivity. She argues that modern literary and cultural studies have ignored nonsexual affectivity in their inquiries. The book elaborates on Warhol's theory of affect and then focuses on sentimental stories, marriage plots, serialized novels, and soap operas as distinct genres producing specific feelings among fans. Popular narrative forms use formulas to bring up familiar patterns of feelings in the audiences who love them. This book looks at the patterns of feelings that some nineteenth- and twentieth-century popular genres evoke, and asks how those patterns are related to gender. Soap operas and sentimentalism are generally derided as "effeminate" forms because their emotional range is seen as hyperfeminine. Having a Good Cry presents a celebration of effeminate feelings and works toward promoting more flexible, less pejorative concepts of gender. Using a psychophysiological rather than a psychoanalytic approach to reading and emotion, Warhol seeks to make readers more conscious of what is happening to the gendered body when we read.
Download or read book I Got Something to Say written by Matthew Oware and published by Springer. This book was released on 2018-07-11 with total page 245 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What do millennial rappers in the United States say in their music? This timely and compelling book answers this question by decoding the lyrics of over 700 songs from contemporary rap artists. Using innovative research techniques, Matthew Oware reveals how emcees perpetuate and challenge gendered and racialized constructions of masculinity, femininity, and sexuality. Male and female artists litter their rhymes with misogynistic and violent imagery. However, men also express a full range of emotions, from arrogance to vulnerability, conveying a more complex manhood than previously acknowledged. Women emphatically state their desires while embracing a more feminist approach. Even LGBTQ artists stake their claim and express their sexuality without fear. Finally, in the age of Black Lives Matter and the presidency of Donald J. Trump, emcees forcefully politicize their music. Although complicated and contradictory in many ways, rap remains a powerful medium for social commentary.
