and when i was growing up, there were men who cooked, and they were called
"chefs" and there were women who cooked, and they were called "mom"! And so
i would like to retain an analysis of socio-culturally produced difference/s
where identity does not rigidly determine position, but where "diversity"
does not either get reduced to a maxim like, "we are all different - vive la
difference". in my world, difference/s makes a difference, and it is worth
figuring out how, why, and of what consequence this might be.
