Gender and Sexuality
Like eating, have biological components
But through culture, it has become blur that what is natural and innate.
We have been taught to think of as natural that is our sex, gender, and our sexaulity.
Gender ideology
Individuals are either male or female and that elaborate beliefs, behaviors and meanings are assocaited with each gender.
Gender vs. sex
Sex refers to sexuality, and gender means the categories male, female, or increasingly, other gender possiblities.
Biological determinism
male and females were supposedly born fundamentally different reproductively and in other major capacities and preferences and were naturally sexually attracted to each other.

Third Gender
Individuals are usually biologically male but adopt female clothing, gestures and names.
-
Separate and unequal
Religions have traditionally segregated males and females spatially and "marked" them in other ways.
-
Complementary and fluid
Not all binary cultures are gender-segregated; nor does gender hostility necessarily gender separation. Nor are all binary cultures deeply concerned with regulating felmale sexuality and marriage.
Even in hignly male-dominated, sexually segregated societies, women find ways to pursue their own goals, to be actors and to push the boundaries of the gender system.
"Man the hunter"
gendered biological traits that we acquired, first as part of our primate heritage, and further developed as we evolved from apes into humans. Emergence of “the hunting way of life” plays a major role in this story.
Males evolved to be food providers---strongers, aggressive, effective leaders with cooperative and bonding capacities, planning skills and technological inventiveness.

Family and Marriage
the varied forms humans have invented for “partnering”—living in households, raising children, establishing long-term relationships, transmitting valuables to offspring, and other social behaviors associated with “family.”
Family
There is a biological mother and a biological father, although the mother plays a significantly larger and longer role from time conception through the end of infant's dependence.
