I think the point Jessica and Sarah raise is important and should have been discussed more in class. Whereas Steph suggests that we cannot be equal until we are genderblind, I would argue that ignoring the current gender binaries would be detrimental to the feminist cause -to deny that the categories of men and women exist is to neglect to address gender issues and inequalities. Maybe at some point in the future when men and women are treated equally we can begin to think about being genderblind, but certainly not before. To try and be genderblind now would not be productive at all in the same way that denying that social class exists and failing to talk about it does not solve class issues.
