I live inside academia - we talk about the social construction of gender all the time, and I'm fascinated (if sometimes horrified) by how gender expectations are playing out in my own life, particularly with regards to my roles as wife and mother.
So, I see gendered behavior everywhere - which is fine with me because I'm fascinated by it.
I don't see gender as 'bad' either - not only is it inescapble, it is marvelous in its complexity and confusion and I can't imagine anything ickier than a world where everyone is the same, with regard to how they are expected to behave sexually or socially.
