gender snippet

wrote this down when Adam and I were reading some weird article (which I wish I had the link to) about the evolution of gender: "the ideas of race and sex were created to maintain inequality after the ideas of the enlightenment proscribed equality among all men (men was a genderless term)"

it's been sitting on my desktop for a few weeks so is pretty out of context at this point, but reminds me of the idea that homosexuality only really became a concept in the victorian period.

found the link: Sexuality & Modernity. the most interesting part was about the enlightenment, but truthfully I could not sit through more than a paragraph of any of it that night.
