Rather, we take a more comprehensive look at how gender is constructed (‘made’ through historical, social and structural processes); how it shapes our identities, ways of thinking, and ways of acting; and how gender hierarchy constitutes a system of differential power that intersects especially with ethnicity/race, class, and sexualities.
