[AGTRT-BF57] Gender theory abstracts from sexuality, offering opportunities for new theorizing about sexuality
Jan Bergstra & Laurens BuijsAmsterdam Gender Theory Research Team Structure of this blog 1. Introduction With the concepts of man and woman, of course, the notion of sex is always close, regardless of sexual orientation. And yet sexuality plays no significant role in gender theory, at least not in the last 30 years. In gender…

[AGTRT-BF56] How can concept engineering of the concept of formal gender help eliminate polarization in the debate?
Jan Bergstra & Laurens BuijsAmsterdam Gender Theory Research Team Structure of this blog 1. Introduction We have recently devoted much energy to developing the concept of “formal gender” through our Formal Gender Theory (FGT, see also gender-theory.org/ and blog AGTRT-BF8). We have also described a method called ICE(incremental concept engineering), which allows the concept formal…

[AGTRT-BF55] The ICE method monitors the consistency of the overall argumentation when a definition of gender is changed
Jan Bergstra & Laurens Buijs Amsterdam Gender Theory Research Team Structure of this blog 1. Introduction In previous blogs (see AGTRT-BF38 and AGTRT-BF54), we have described how the ICE method can be helpful in discussions about gender. We base the ICE method on the insights of our formal gender theory (FGT). This method allows the…

[AGTRT-BF54] A change in the definition of gender must be firmly justified with ICE
Jan Bergstra & Laurens BuijsAmsterdam Gender Theory Research Team Structure of this blog 1. Introduction In blog AGTRT-BF38, we outlined ICE (incremental concept engineering) for gender, as a methodology that can advance the discussion around gender. In doing so, we named a series of seven consecutive notions of formal gender. The idea here is that…

[AGTRT-BF53] Kirk-Gianinni’s work has a binary premise, and that seems to be a drawback
Jan Bergstra & Laurens BuijsAmsterdam Gender Theory Research Team We have already devoted two blogs to recent work by Kirk-Gianinni (see AGTRT-BF49 and AGTRT-BF51). This is reasonable because here is a next step that clearly builds on earlier work by Bettcher, Jenkins, Barnes and Dembroff taking into account the criticisms of it by Byrne and…

[AGTRT-BF52] Arnout Jaspers lashes out at woke, but needs to phrase his criticism more carefully
Jan Bergstra & Laurens BuijsAmsterdam Gender Theory Research Team On Feb. 24, physicist and journalist Arnout Jaspers posted a critical piece about “woke” on Wynia’s Week.. Read Arnout Jaspers’ piece on Wynia’s Week:On an MRI scan you can see a clear difference between women’s and men’s brains, but that may not be true according to…
