My Thoughts : Is Female to male as Nature to Culture

                   I thought that this was an interesting comparison between how males and females are perceived and treated and how that compares to the way that society acts towards nature and culture, men and woman. It was something I had never thought about before but it seemed to a substantial amount of  sense. What Ortner says throughout this article is that the way our culture and cultures all over the world think of women is all very similar and it is all in a negative  way. In the beginning of the article she talks about how in China the Yin-Yang is supposed to represent men and women in an equal way but the culture itself focus on the decent of the male line. A very Interesting point she makes in the article is when she talks about Nature and Culture. SHe says that in almost every society people think of culture as being superior to nature. People beleive that they can "socialize" and "Culturize" Nature
