my student film on gender and sexuality

[fredv3b]

Thank you for that I thought it was fascinating. I was particularly struck by the theme of the meaning of words, do we choose their meaning or is their meaning determined by society? One male interviewee admitted to being sexually attracted to men but disliked his room-mate referring to him as gay. What would he prefer him to refer to him as?

I also noted the idea of social constructs, I totally agree that gender is a social construct. However I have difficulty thinking of an aspect of human life that is not a social construct, or indeed how a society could possibly function without social constructs.
