The Gender Card

The Gender Card

Posted 01 July 2009 | By Adele McAlear | Categories: Feminism, Technically Women | 11 Comments

Let me state right from the start, I do not like playing the gender card. Sweeping generalizations about how men and women “are” make me bristle. I do not consciously frame myself in this world as a woman first. I am a person. I am unique. I happen to be female in gender. And in part, because of that, I often resist believing that there are any barriers to entry in positions or fields.
