The Lady Gaga School of Gender Delusion

In the early Seventies, both feminists and psychologists argued that men and women were more alike than different and that any differences were largely imposed by social pressures. In 1972, for example, Ann Oakleyâ??s Sex, Gender and Society first made the distinction between â??sexâ?? and â??genderâ??. Sex, explained Oakley, is a biological term whereas gender is a psychological and cultural term. Oakley concluded that sex has little influence over gender; identifying oneself as man or woman is a consequence of cultural learning and not biological predisposition.
