Gender studies is an interdisciplinary academic field devoted to analysing gender identity and gendered representation. It includes women's studies (concerning women, feminism, gender, and politics), men's studies and queer studies. Its rise to prominence, especially in Western universities after 1990, has been noted as a success of deconstructionism. Sometimes, gender studies is offered together with study of sexuality. These disciplines study gender and sexuality in the fields of literature, linguistics, human geography, history, political science, archaeology, economics, sociology, psychology, anthropology, cinema, media studies, human development, law, public health and medicine. It also analyses how race, ethnicity, location, class, nationality, and disability intersect with the categories of gender and sexuality.

The belief that there are two genders: male and female. This, of course, is incorrect because gender is a social construct. But it is still ok to identify as a gender. If labeling yourself makes you feel more comfortable that is perfectly acceptable, but that is your identity not the rest of the world has to revolve around gender. yay. stop being bigots and open your mind to new ideas.
Person 1: Why is the world centered around the belief of gender binary?
Person 2: Because humans suck. At least global warming will kill them soon enough, or they'll kill themselves through nuclear war.

Woman to group: "We have two options. We can fix the pole, utilise a generator for 3 days in the interim, but potentially have to sink the connection in 5-10 years when the main cable is sunk, rendering the pole redundant. Or we can sink the connection now and utilise a generator for 2-3 months."
Man to the woman: "Yeah, but you've got to careful how you go about it. I see that we have two options. We can fix the pole or we can sink the connection."
Woman to man: "I just said that. You are suffering gender deafness. I have an IQ in the top one percent of the population but yet, somehow, lower IQ men like you seem to think you are entitled to talk to me like I'm stupid. Fuck you and your mental deficit."

Get the Gender Deafness mug.A division of people into two (or more) groups. There is some conflict to what the divisions are, but luckily we have great minds like AOC to tell us how we should be divided. Her critical gender theory: those that menstruate, and those that don't.
AOC: My new critical gender theory: there are two types of people; those that menstruate, and those that do not. Some trans women menstruate. Some non-binary people menstruate. Some cis- women don't menstruate.
A rational thinker: menstruation is "the regular discharge of blood and mucosal tissue from the inner lining of the uterus through the vagina." If you don't have a uterus, you might experience some of the symptoms of PMS, the rise and fall of hormones, with cramping, swelling, nausea, etc... but those are symptoms related to, but is not menstruation.
AOC: You're a man, I wouldn't expect you to understand what menstruation is.
A critical thinker: It appears I understand the science better than you do.
