Document Summary
Socy 352 lecture # 9 (week 5) Widespread access to contraception, abortion, and reproductive technologies have irrevocably unhinged the links between heterosexuality, marriage, and procreation we must feed out appetites for intimacy today from a disorderly smorgasbord of familial patterns and practices (29). Stacey argues that the gender regime (male as a breadwinner & female as a homemaker) is old and is being changed by lgbtq: the changing of children: Amidst the threatening upheavals, insecurities and alienation of global capitalism, children present adults with renewed opportunities for hope, meaning, and connection (29). E. g. services for gay men who need to provide breast milk for their newborn babies not very accessible. There are many reasons to believe that a predestined urge to parent is even less common among straight men than among gays. For one thing, by definition, if not by disposition, gay men are already gender dissidents.
