Gender
Concept of feminist theory that describes the cultural and social dimension of the structural category of gender. Originally, gender was conceived in contrast to “sex”, the biological foundation of gender affiliation. This dichotomous differentiation of gender into “sex” and “gender”, which follows a nature-culture dualism, was questioned by poststructuralist theories, which argue that biological gender (“sex”) is also the result of discursive, performative practices.
