Frases de Margaret Mead

Margaret Mead fue una antropóloga

y poeta estadounidense. En sus investigaciones etnográficas de las décadas de 1920 y 1930, puso en entredicho la visión sexista biologista que prevalecía en las ciencias sociales en EE.UU. según la cual la división sexual del trabajo en la familia moderna se debía a la diferencia innata entre el comportamiento instrumental de los hombres y expresivo de las mujeres, y en su estudio comparativo Sex and Temperament in Three Primitive Societies Mead introdujo, en 1935, la idea revolucionaria de que, por ser la especie humana enormemente maleable, los papeles y las conductas sexuales varían según los contextos socioculturales. Fue, así, precursora en la utilización del concepto «género» ampliamente utilizado posteriormente en los estudios feministas.[1]​ Wikipedia

Women want mediocre men, and men are working hard to be as mediocre as possible.
