@ARTICLE{Łuczaj_Kamil_Two_2014, author={Łuczaj, Kamil}, number={No 1}, journal={Kultura i Społeczeństwo}, pages={21-39}, howpublished={online}, year={2014}, publisher={Komitet Socjologii PAN}, publisher={Instytut Studiów Politycznych PAN}, abstract={The author analyzes attitudes to the phenomenon of sexuality on the basis of two theoretical perspectives, the evolutionary and the feminist, between which there has long been conflict. In his opinion, however, they are only seemingly contrary. The main texts of both trends of thought concern entirely different problems and at the substantive level there is basically no contradiction between them. It is important that evolutionary theory often undermines existing cultural schemas, although this is rarely perceived by proponents of feminist theories. Evolutionists, in turn, rather too often identify feminism with radical social constructivism. Another extreme is a view that could be described as evolutionary sexism, consisting in justifying the gender status quo by reference to biological essentialism. After elimination of the extreme approaches, which are rare in any case, it is possible to use the results of evolutionary research in the debate over gender equality and to transform the two monologues into a cohesive dialogue; this, in the author’s opinion, is an important task for empirically oriented social theory.}, type={Artykuły / Articles}, title={Two Monologues: Feminist ‘Femininity’ and Evolutionary ‘Masculinity’: Analysis of Two Research Paradigms of Sexuality}, URL={http://ochroma.man.poznan.pl/Content/86849/PDF/Journal10276-Volume58_Issue1-02_paper.pdf}, doi={10.2478/kultura-2014-0012}, keywords={feminism, evolutionism, gender-sex}, }
