			== Men in SF ==

			Like [[women]], men in SF are apt to be non-[[human]]. Male [[aliens]], or [[neuter]] aliens -- aliens who lack the [[marked]] characteristics commonly associated with [[women]] in popular gendered ideology -- can still be called "men" if they are even remotely [[anthropomorphised]].

			It's that whole [[mankind]] syndrome thing.

			Thus: [[little green men]], bogeymen, [[werewolves]] (the "were" means "man"), [[Cybermen]], etc.

Adult [[human]] males. This common definition, however, is insufficient for feminist analysis.

* A [[class]] of people created by [[gender]] divisions, which gendered ideology necessarily conflates with the biological fact of being female.

* The people who belong to that category:
**Male people, automatically enlisted in the gender class because of their biological characteristics.
**Particularly, adult male people (as opposed to [[boys]]).
**Transgendered people, who choose to enter into the [[gender]] category.

* See also: [[Man]].
