Abstract

BARUS-MICHEL, Jacqueline. The interpretation of the difference between the sexes: inferiority, strangeness, variety, equality. Psicol. rev. (Belo Horizonte) [online]. 2013, vol.19, n.1, pp. 1-16. ISSN 1677-1168.

Until today, the constancy of the subordination of women, through the ages and societies, makes the difference between the sexes a more specific problem when referring it to the relationship, one with another. The social status of women is the effect of a complex process that combines the organic constitutions (nature) and its metaphorical transposition to cultural constructions, with ambivalence anddegradation of desires anxieties deepen, in other words, with the demands of social order andreproduction of this demands. Are the transformations of critical spirit and cultural emancipation that which will bring about a domino effect restoring the natural balance of the sexes to the dimensions of a variation of the species.This process can only be understood when one uses, among other disciplines, anthropology, physiology, sociology, psychoanalysis and history.
