Collapse of Gender's Realm in Our Daily Life

Abstract

In sum, the author of this paper wants to assert that the notion of gender that commonly works as a denominator to sever constructed character of sex and sexuality out of biological sex and sexuality might cease to function due to diversified interests of feminism activists. The paper examined briefly a history of feminism in Japan as compared with that in the United States for the last three decades. It came out with the observation that mighty emergence of minorities' voices other than essentialists' might bring out a breakdown of concept of gender as an adhesive of various interests. In conclusion, the author of this paper asserts the notion of gender should be more itemized and individualized to reflect the real world through its reconstruction.
