Subordination: The Politics of Gender
By: Showkeen Bilal Ahmad Gul
Subordination the dictionary says is, ‘the act of placing in a lower rank or position’. So subordination is concerned with the concept of gender. Gender bias is behaviour that shows favouritism toward one gender over another. Most often, gender bias is the act of favouring men and/or boys over women and/or girls. Specifically, girls and women are expected to demonstrate feminine behaviour, and boys and men are expected to act masculine. The term gender bias is often (wrongly) used interchangeably with the term sexism. Sexism is typically defined as the subordination of one sex, usually female, based on the assumed superiority of the other sex or an ideology that defines females as different from and inferior to males. Feminists see society as patriarchal- based on male domination.
Sexual orientation
An inherent or immutable enduring emotional, romantic or sexual attraction to other people.
Straight
As a sexual orientation, heterosexuality is "an enduring pattern of emotional, romantic, and/or sexual attractions" to persons of the opposite sex; it "also refers to a person's sense of identity based on those attractions, related behaviors, and membership in a community of others who share those attractions."
Bisexuality is an attraction to more than one gender. Those who identify as bisexual feel a sexual and/or romantic attraction to people of a different gender as well as their own. While this offers a basic definition, bisexual people are a diverse group. Each individual perceives their sexual orientation differently.
Pan-sexual definition
Typically, people who identify as pansexual can feel an attraction to anyone, including individuals who do not identify as a specific gender. Pansexual people may describe their attraction as focusing on personality rather than gender.
For example, people with a pansexual orientation may feel an attraction to the personality of someone who is a gender. They might equally find a female, male, or gender-fluid person attractive. It is important to note that identifying as pansexual does not mean feeling attracted to everyone, just as a heterosexual male does not feel an attraction to every female, and vice versa.
Asexuality
Asexuality is the lack of sexual attraction to others, or low or absent interest in or desire for sexual activity. It may be considered a sexual orientation or the lack thereof. It may also be categorized more widely to include a broad spectrum of asexual sub-identities.
Queer
Queer is an umbrella term for people who reject heteronormativity. It is also used as a self-identity label with respect to sexual orientation and/or gender identity.
Heteronormativity
Heteronormativity is the concept that heterosexuality is the preferred or normal mode of sexual orientation. It assumes the gender binary (i.e., that there are only two distinct, opposite genders) and that sexual and marital relations are most fitting between people of opposite sex.
Gay
Gay is a term that primarily refers to a homosexual person or the trait of being homosexual. The term originally meant 'carefree', 'cheerful', or 'bright and showy'. While scant usage referring to male homosexuality dates to the late 19th century, that meaning became increasingly common by the mid-20th century.
