Gender seems like an interesting topic. I hear a lot of 'gender roles' in art. Feminism seems to be concerned that there are men and that there are women. More over I would suspect much of Feminism is not about equality but of placing stereotypes in which the particular feminist agrees fits 'womanhood'
The thing is, I don't see a separation of man and woman. Generally I think it is assumed that if someone has a particular set of reproduction organs, that is their gender. But. If a person is infertile they do not loose their gender classification. One is not more of a gender by having more of a particular hormone. Really, the only difference between man and woman is that people choose there to be. Although this is not a conscious choice many of the time, once taken in consideration, one can change their mind. I would think that if feminists where truly interested in equality, then they would drop the whole femin part of the ism and just say stop judging people. I also hold this opinion to the way race is handled. I believe the best way for people to stop discriminating people against if they are african american is to stop considering your self as an african american and consider youerself a person. The same for women, the same for any other group that feels they are being marginalized. I think it would be better the attack the larger problem of judging people beforehand than to be very specific about a certain 'race' or 'gender'.
