In Judith Butler's 1990 work Gender Trouble, she argues that gender is a social construct rather than a biological fact. She asserts that gender is performative through repeated acts over time, creating an illusion of a fixed gender identity. Butler also contends that feminism should question how the category of "women" is produced and constrained by the very power structures it seeks to dismantle. She concludes by arguing against taking traditional views of gender at face value.

This PowerPoint serves as an introduction to Michel Foucault and one of his most famous theories. It includes an example of his theory in action, and a short bibliography.
Postmodern feminism refers to the feminist theory system that is inclusive of postmodern ideals
and post-structuralism theory. In this regard, it is believed that postmodern feminism goes past
modernist polarity of open-minded and far-reaching feminism. Various forms of entertainment
media have been out to use by postmodern feminists for purposes of furthering their ideologies.
The effect of this is influence of feminist studies that intersect sexuality, race, gender and race
issues. Film and TV are among the media widely used for purposes of furthering intersecting
roles.

2. Normative framework
Normative framework is the heterosexual matrix where males and females
are born out of there mothers wombs and because of there sexual organs
are specifically trained to walk, talk, act certain rituals and activities that the
ideal masculine man and the ideal feminine women should take on to

3. Feminism and subversion of identity
Butler 2 critical point was that
both gender and sex are social
constructions
Second point was that gender is per
formative
4. Butler argument
• If one is a women, that is surely not all
that one is, the term fails to be exhaustive
because gender intersects with racial,
class, ethnic, sexuality and regional
modality of discursively constituted
identities.
• “Feminist critique ought also to
understand how the category of ‘women,’
the subject of feminism is produced and
restrained by the very structure of power
through which emancipation of is
sought.”
Feminism
5. Gender is Performativity
• A repeated series of acts, words, and
discourses that create and define the
notion of masculinity and femininity
6. The End
• “We shouldn’t take traditional suicidal
construct at base value”
