Essay --

butlers Bodies that way outJudith Butlers book entitled Bodies that Matter examines and questions the belief that certain male-female behaviors are natural at bottom our society. The behaviors that Dr. Butler has distinguished between in this book are femininity and masculinity. She believes that through our learned intelligence of these gendered behaviors this is an act or performance. She implies that this is brought to us by normative heterosexuality depicted in our timeline. In which, takes on the role of our language and accustomed normalization of society. Butler offers many ideas to prove some of her more radical ideas such as examples from other philosophers, performativity, and worldwide examples on gender/sex. Some philosophers that bet to be of relevance to her fighting ca use of goods and services are Michel Foucault, Edmund Husserl, Maurice Merleau-Ponty, and George Herbert Mead. Her use of the doctrine of constitution takes the social agent as an object rather than the subject of essential acts (Performative).

Nonetheless, that fiction is central to the establishment of subjectivity and human society, which is to say that, even so, it has material effects the I neither precedes nor follows the process of this gendering, but emerges only within and as the matrix of gender relations themselves (Bodies 7). Overall, I really liked butlers voice and articulation of certain dilemmas and her theme and reiteration of important facts. I give you with a quote in which i like from her because you can interpret it in so many ways. It read more lives are grievable than others (Butler).
