Because I am a Woman

I am a college student studying in Worcester, MA. I'm a peer sex educator, reproductive rights activist, and feminist.

This blog is about sex-positivity, sex-ed, feminism, reproductive rights and activism.

Feel free to send me a message with your questions about sex, sexual health, sex toys, feminism, or anything else!

For more information about any of these things please check out the resources tab or leave me a question in my ask box! I would love to talk to you!

As far as I know there are no tumblrs that speak directly about this, but there are many online resources you can check out. Here are a couple of good ones:

There is a documentary called The Codes of Gender which I didn’t look into a link for, but did find a general description of.
This link has an article with a pretty comprehensive look at theory and how this phenomena impacts children.

You can find a lot more by googling terms like “gender coding and media” of “media constructions and gender” and other related phrases. Although, I do want to point out that most of the work done around this vein of theory is very cis-biased.

thescarletwoman said: also, ‘delusions of gender: how our minds, society, and neurosexism create difference’ by cordelia fine is a great book on this!
