The female body is not the problem. The problem is the social meaning that we ascribe to that body, and a socially determined failure to account for it.
Araşdırma kitablarının gözəl tərəfi hansısa mövzunu araşdırmasından daha çox, həmin mövzunu araşdırmaq istəyən insanlara ədəbiyyat siyahısı verməsidir. Bu kitabın təqdirəlayiq bir cəhəti isə müasir dövrdən bəhs etməsidir. Toxunduğu cəmiyyət problemləri də, istinad etdiyi mənbələr də həm müasir, həm də 21ci əsr insanının sadə reallıqlarıdır. Bu kitabı qadınlara aid, yaxud feminist deyə səciyyələndirməyəcəyəm, çünki bunu etmək belə fikrimcə ayrı-seçkilik olar. Bu kitab azlıqlar haqqındadır. Gizlənməyə, həzm etməyə, altruislik etməyə, görünməzdən gəlməyə məcbue edilmiş insanların haqqındadır.

Films, news, literature, science, city planning, economics. The stories we tell ourselves about our past, present and future. They are all marked – disfigured – by a female-shaped ‘absent presence’. This is the gender data gap.
For over a hundred years, a tenth-century Viking skeleton known as the ‘Birka warrior’ had – despite possessing an apparently female pelvis – been assumed to be male because it was buried alongside a full set of weapons and two sacrificed horses.11 These grave contents indicated that the occupant had been a warrior12 – and warrior meant male (archaeologists put the numerous references to female fighters in Viking lore down to ‘mythical embellishments’13). But although weapons apparently trump the pelvis when it comes to sex, they don’t trump DNA and in 2017 testing confirmed that these bones did indeed belong to a woman.
Representation of the world, like the world itself, is the work of men; they describe it from their own point of view, which they confuse with the absolute truth.
Starting with the theory of Man the Hunter, the chroniclers of the past have left little space for women’s role in the evolution of humanity, whether cultural or biological. Instead, the lives of men have been taken to represent those of humans overall. When it comes to the lives of the other half of humanity, there is often nothing but silence.
We don’t even allow non-humans to escape our perception of the world as overwhelmingly male: when researchers in one study attempted to prompt participants to see a gender-neutral stuffed animal as female by using female pronouns, children, parents and carers still overwhelmingly referred to the animal as ‘he’. The study found that an animal must be ‘super-feminine’ before ‘even close to half of participants will refer to it as she rather than he’.
A group of one hundred female teachers in Spanish would be referred to as ‘las profesoras’ – but as soon as you add a single male teacher, the group suddenly becomes ‘los profesores’. Such is the power of the default male.
