EQUALITY WITH DIFFERENCE - ON ANDROCENTRISM AND MENSTRUATION

The author proposes that menstruation is an experience unique to women that can be discussed in a variety of classes to counter, albeit in a small way, the androcentrism present in many sociology courses. I pro vide an outline of a lecture on menstruation useful for gender relatio ns classes, and then illustrate how the topic can be used in other soc iology courses.
