Sexuality : The Social Context I
A. Biological sex
B. Sexual orientation
C. Gender identity
E. Structural gender
F. Gender symbolism
II. The social context of sexuality
A. Sex : is what we understand to be biological, genetic sex
X chromosome, Y chromo-
. There is a lot more to say about this, but this is an anthropology course
. "Biological sex" most often refers to what we see
we can't see chromosomes
. We see primary and secondary sex features, and we see the different roles in the
reproductive process
. What we can conclude about such things as particular personality and behavior
differences determined by sex is currently very contested
a. There's a lot more agreement about anatomy and physiology than in
B. Gender : is what societies do with these biological givens
. And societies do quite a variety of things with biological sex
. Some societies don't even categorize sex as consisting of 2 sexes hand around
a. In India, a third sex is called the Hijiras and they are considered to be nei-
ther men nor women
b. We find this very difficult to conceive of; one of the most natural, unques-
tionable assumptions we all have is that you are a either boy or a girl
c. But "third sex" categories are found elsewhere, too, another well-known
set of examples is found in Native American tribes
d. Also in Saudi Arabia, Tahiti, New Guinea, and the Dominican Republic
Serena Nanda, 1999. Neither Man nor Woman : The Hijras of India. Belmont, CA : Wadsworth.
. The rigid formula of "sex"="gender"="2 sexes, male and female" is loosening
a. I mentioned the workshop I attended in Baker House 4 years ago, one of
the participants said that currently he / she felt 70
Our system cannot accommodate this
He / she followed by saying his / her sexual orientation is unclear,
of course, because it depends on a clear-cut gender identity
for the person and that of his / her partner
He / she was right
. Because we see our system as so natural, finding out where sex leaves off and
gender begins is difficult to study
a. Precisely why it's useful to have the cross-cultural record
If we can get beyond our feeling that our way of thinking and
And any other way is just weird, unnatural, immoral, irrational,
sinful, etc.
III. What is social and cultural about sex and sexuality ?
A. First is that like all other kinds of feelings, these feelings and abilities develop only
within a sociocultural system
. It is "normal" for humans to grow up within a cultural milieu ; we are social, cul-
a. Feral children
children reared by mammals isolated from other human
Wolves, even tigers nurturing human infants
b. They have nothing one could remotely call human sexual behavior no
language, of course, either
c. They are not examples of "natural" humans; they are pathological
. We can speak of sexual energy, or drive, of a capacity to respond
a. But the
forms these take are learned ; in fact, for the most part they are
taught, formally and informally
b. Sexual behavior and sexual feelings are learned
What you should do
We think kissing is great
to express several kinds
of feelings, to acknowledge several kinds of relation-
Other cultures see kissing as disgusting; who's to
say they're wrong and we're right because what we do
In cultures where men and women don't eat to-
gether, the idea of lovers going on a picnic is disgust-
Also learned is what you would like to do but must not
Example : the post partum sex taboo of a year, 2
years ; among the Dani of highland New Guinea for 5
We have one as well, but it's a matter of weeks
Ours post-partum sex taboo is medicalized, secular-
ized : when the new mother's genitalia have assumed
their pre-birth condition
Also learned is who you should be attracted to
Obligatory heterosexuality: how you should feel,
how you should behave
Desire for same sex was seen as a pathol-
ogy, needed treatment
b How the West's attitude has changed toward homo-
sexuality is also an indication of who is attracted to
whom being a matter of cultural prescriptions and pro-
c Samoans, prior to European contact, saw homosex-
ual practices as simply not occurring why would any-
one do this when there were women around?
But it was not condemned, not a sin
These views changed following contact
Another example : institutionalized lesbian rela-
tionships in Muslim Mombasa
Also learned is who you do it with not the same thing as #2
In the South Sea island of Mangaia, adolescent boys
spend a two-week period of formal instruction about
the techniques of intercourse, which is followed by a
culurally approved experience with a mature woman in
They're not considered a man until this happens
Compare the practice in some middle and upper
class Latin American families of taking boys to houses
of prostitution or expecting a domestic maid to provide
the boy's first experiences
And you learn when
this is highly variable
Childhood sexual behavior: whether accepted, en-
couraged, discouraged is highly variable
Example : Huxley's Brave New World, the
encouraging attitude toward children's games
like "Find the Zipper"
Among the Tikopia in Oceania, sexual activity be-
fore marriage is expected ; having several lovers is
considered normal for the young
The notion that older people do and should be ac-
tive sexually has evolved a great deal in this country
Earlier in this century attitudes toward this idea
were limited to "dirty old man"
Now we think it should happen and, if necessary,
can help it along with Viagra
What you do to make yourself attractive is highly variable
And, in general, the importance a society gives to sex and expec-
tations about frequency of sexual activity, vary tremendously
. Hence, "doin' what comes naturally" from the musical "Annie Get Your Gun"
means doing what your culture has programmed you to think is natural
. Understandings of such things as female orgasm, or homosexuality, for instance,
. We connect "natural" to "normal" to "moral, correct"
a. Why we initially react with disgust at obligatory homosexuality in New
b. We are not reacting neutrally
c. One lesson about culture :
Its prescriptions and proscriptions are not given in the form of
"it would be nice if you did/felt/believed this, but if you
Rather, they are given in the context of "this is how humans be
have"; "this is what the gods command you to do"; "do it this
way or you will be considered very deviant, abnormal, sick"
d. So we can better understand just how disturbing it is when what you
think is natural, a trait of the species, is not, and you can't find much
evidence that that person is sick, a sinner in other ways, etc.
In the Anthropology Program we have a video titled "You Don't
Know Dick," about female-to-male transsexuals
One of these men is interviewed along with his friends
One of the friends says a small part of her wanted his decision to
result in a huge failure, demonstrating that he had been "out
of his flippin' mind" because then she wouldn't have to re-
think so much of what she'd come to believe
B. Second, sexuality is always integrated into the entire sociocultural system ; behaviors,
feelings, etc. we consider sexual in some fashion will serve other purposes, do
other kinds of "work" in the culture
. Marriage and the family
a. These institutions do a great deal. We see sexual attraction, which is a
major part of falling in love, as very instrumental in making people
. Sexuality and power : We talked last time about a woman using her sexuality for
. Advertising using sexuality to get people to buy stuff
. The New Guinea case of the Sambia : sexual activities seen as necessary to turn
. Anthropologists have analyzed some kinds of expectations and prescriptions
about sexuality as adaptive in contributing to population control
. Sexuality, especially female, and social stratification
a. Degree of seclusion of women correlates with rank in the societies
that emphasize the importance of virginity, modesty, chastity,
b. In part because the lower classes can't afford to have half their
adult labor power so confined
c. In part because women's bodies are seen as the repository of fam-
ily honor and the upper classes have more honor to maintain
d. In a book we read about Morocco in another class I teach
There is a graphic description of a wedding involving a
staged struggle between the groom and the bride's
kinswomen after which he forcibly penetrates her but
it's very bad form to ejaculate
And the bloodstained sheet is immediately displayed in
front of the wedding guests, cause of great celebration
Students very frequently find this hard to take and hard
The values are stated, the logic is clear
It is a very different logic
e. In the Middle East countries sometimes women are put in jail for
their own protection because their father and brothers are
trying to kill them
Something they did besmirched the family honor
Their mother and sisters agree this must be done
Ostensibly such "honor killings" are against the law, but
law is not enforced
There are Pakistani men in British and Scandinavian jail
who have killed their daughters or sisters and are not repen-
Women's groups in these countries work to help such
women in danger of being killed find a safe place to live
elsewhere in the country
C. Third, because of culture, humans are freed from some of the biological controls over
behavior characteristic of all other animals
. Advances in technology have produced reliable birth control

for Japanese University English Education
People all over the world are enrolling in free online university courses, but so few Japanese
people are taking advantage of this chance. We are planning to offer tools for Japanese people to
successfully enjoy the courses: transcripts of the lectures, English expressions sorted by their

Exercise-Induced Bronchoconstriction in School-Aged Children Who Had Chronic Lung Disease in Infancy Suchita Joshi, PhD, MRCPaed1, Thomas Powell, PhD2, William J. Watkins, PhD1, Mark Drayton, MD, FRCPCH3, E. Mark Williams, PhD2, and Sailesh Kotecha, PhD, FRCPCH1 Objectives To assess for exercise-induced bronchoconstriction in 8- to 12-year-old children who had chroniclung disease (CLD) in infancy, and to evaluate the response of bronchoconstriction to bronchodilation with albuterolin comparison with preterm and term controls.Study design Ninety-two children, including 29 with CLD, 33 born preterm at #32 weeks' gestation, and 30 bornat term, underwent lung spirometry before and after cycle ergometry testing and after postexercise bronchodilationwith albuterol.Results Doctor-diagnosed asthma and exercise-induced wheeze were reported more frequently in the CLD groupthan in the preterm and term groups, but only 10% were receiving a bronchodilator. There were no differencesamong the groups in peak minute ventilation, oxygen uptake, or carbon dioxide output at maximum exercise. Aftermaximal exercise, predicted forced expiratory volume in 1 second (FEV1) decreased from a mean baseline value of81.9% (95% CI, 76.6-87.0%) to 70.8% (95% CI, 65.5-76.1%) after exercise in the CLD group, from 92.0% (95% CI,87.2-96.8%) to 84.3% (95% CI, 79.1-89.4%) in the preterm group, and from 97.5% (95% CI, 92.5-102.6%) to90.3% (95% CI, 85.1-95.5%) in the term group. After albuterol administration, FEV1 increased to 86.8% (95%CI, 81.7-92.0%) in the CLD group, 92.1% (95% CI, 87.3-96.9%) in the preterm group, and 97.1% (95% CI, 92.0-102.3%) in the term group. The decrease in predicted FEV1 after exercise and increase in predicted FEV1 after bron-chodilator use were greatest in the CLD group (11.0% [95% CI, 18.4 to 3.6%] and 16.0% [95% CI, 8.6-23.4%],respectively; P < .005 for both), with differences of <8% in the 2 control groups.Conclusion School-age children who had CLD in infancy had significant exercise-induced bronchoconstrictionthat responded significantly to bronchodilation. Reversible exercise-induced bronchoconstriction is common in chil-dren who experienced CLD in infancy and should be actively assessed for and treated.
