Kimmel And Marinucci Summary

Drawing from Kimmel and Marinucci we read about three types of gender theories; biological, psychoanalytic, and social construction. In which I will be comparing and contrasting these three gender theories between Kimmel and Marinucci. Kimmel describes biological theory of its originality of gender in chapter four is mainly how gender is developed within biology. When a baby is born the baby is given a gender and to be known as that sex either female or male. As the baby continues to grow the baby then falls into the gender they want to be then knowing the actual sex between female or male. It’s also looked upon how the baby is raised because that can affect the baby and change its ways of living with a different sex. The author Kimmel described
Like for example, if a male liked to dance or act like a girl at a young age would continue as they grow up. For instance, the effects of the each gender in kimmel’s text is that the females have a better and easier bond to their mothers whereas it would be harder for the males to have a similar connection to the mothers. The boys would be bonded to the fathers because they would follow what’s more masculine to them. But to Marinucci the originality of gender in biological theory was defined differently where Marinucci uses language as a biological theory in chapter one. The purpose of the gender was to be using gender pronouns like if you were to point out a female you would say “she” or “her” it’s basically how you’re pointing out to cisgender people. If you were to point at a boy you would say “he” or “his” it showed people what gender the person was. In contrast to Marinucci biological theory to Kimmel theory is mainly about the gender how a human can be raised as heterosexual or homosexual. It mainly depends on the culture or environment the baby is raised
