examples: It's almost eerie, in the wake of the Lawrence Summers controversy, to encounter the words of an earlier Harvard president, John Kirkland, a "friend and mentor" of Elizabeth's, who advised her that if any woman "is raised by genius and knowledge above the level of her sex, her neglect of attention appropriate to the best half of creation, attentions called femininities, will more than counterbalance all her advantages and reduce her below other women."
A contributing factor to this slightly regressive femininity may have been the sugary fabrics (silver lamé, tulle over sequins) and the meringuelike puffs and baby Googums bows at the neck.
One outcome of the idea of fluid masculinity and femininity is the notion of genderqueerness.

But evolutionary psychology, as it has been disseminated across mainstream consciousness, is a cranky and despotic Cyclops, its single eye glaring through an overwhelmingly masculinist lens. I say "masculinist" rather than male because the view of male behaviour promulgated by hard-core evolutionary psychologists is as narrow and inflexible as their view of womanhood.
This includes research that examines the role that adolescent "tinkering" plays in developing mechanical interests and aptitudes; male and female patterns of participation in Internet-based communications; the prevalence of masculinist "search and destroy" narratives in video and computer games; the masculine subcultures of computing, including the close links between technophilia and technoporn; and the cultivation of gendered differences in consumer desire in technomarketing.
