Doing Gender: my kidney - your kidney?
At the annual meeting of the Society, Gender Studies Association in Munich today and tomorrow it goes to the issue of vulnerability.
Merve Winter gave a presentation on "Doing Gender in live-organ donation, the women are more vulnerable sex.". Based on the fact that there is an interesting Unequal distribution of women and men are who donate a kidney or received during his lifetime, she asks in their qualitative research into the underlying gender patterns. It is not surprising that women are more likely to donate a kidney and that is not justified by the frequency distribution of certain diseases of women and men. Women to establish himself as "vulnerable sex," is far too short (and I believe would be an oversimplification anyway) became clear. Who wants to know how the distributions are, why this might be so - and brings the issue of gender ambivalence which looks after at: http://www.fg-gender.de/wordpress/wp-content/uploads
