Description
Summary:Contends that Rhoda Unger's arguments in, "Toward a Redefinition of Sex & Gender" (1979), are still relevant, especially for undergraduate students for whom the paper could provide a bridge from mainstream to feminist psychology. The paper also provides a needed critique around the constitution of biological "sex" differences; challenges the legitimacy of using group data to defend the treatment of individuals; & points out the need to engage with these issues politically.
