Description: Gender isn't what it used to be. Categories are collapsing. What was deviant for baby boomers has become mainstream for their offspring: like the coed who realizes she's bisexual but after a period of adjustment shrugs her shoulders and gets on with her otherwise mundane life. Gender as we once understood it is over and gender - bending is the new beat. Men sport ponytails and earrings and teach nursery school; women flaunt tatoos and biceps and smoke cigars. In The End of Gender Shari L. Thurer argues that we are in the midst of a new sexual revolution. It is one where gender categories are blurring not just at the "fringes" of society but in mainstream lifestyle media fashion and art. So why is this cultural phenomenon happening now? And what does it mean? In lively non - technical language and with sometimes surprising case studies from her 25 years as a psychologist Thurer answers these questions bridging complex postmodern theory with cutting edge psychoanalysis.
