Talk:Gender performativity

As described -- I don't have the original reference -- this processus is an ideological causal loop. What created gender before there were "people's performances of what they believe about gender"? Ideas of gender arose out of nowhere? A divine edict fell down from on high? What?! --Ide Cyan 02:10, 15 December 2006 (PST)

Can you describe the problems with the concept on the main page? Or if you're saying I've described the theory inadequately, can you improve it? --LQ 05:11, 15 December 2006 (PST)

I do not have access to nor have I read the book by Judith Butler, so, in the absence of a direct quote, I can't ascertain whether you've described its propositions adequately or not, and can only criticise the subject based on how you've described it. --Ide Cyan 14:59, 15 December 2006 (PST)
