Gender

Gender is the range of characteristics pertaining to, and differentiating between, masculinity and femininity. Depending on the context, these characteristics may include biological sex (i.e. the state of being male, female or intersex), sex-based social structures (including gender roles and other social roles), or gender identity.

Sexologist John Money introduced the terminological distinction between biological sex and gender as a role in 1955. Before his work, it was uncommon to use the word gender to refer to anything but grammatical categories. However, Money's meaning of the word did not become widespread until the 1970s, when feminist theory embraced the concept of a distinction between biological sex and the social construct of gender. Today, the distinction is strictly followed in some contexts, especially the social sciences and documents written by the World Health Organization (WHO). However, in many other contexts, including some areas of social sciences, gender includes sex or replaces it. Although this change in the meaning of gender can be traced to the 1980s, a small acceleration of the process in the scientific literature was observed in 1993 when the USA's Food and Drug Administration (FDA) started to use gender instead of sex. In 2011, the FDA reversed its position and began using sex as the biological classification and gender as "a person's self representation as male or female, or how that person is responded to by social institutions based on the individual's gender presentation." In non-human animal research, gender is also commonly used to refer to the physiology of the animals.

  • Cowgirl (song)

    "Cowgirl" is a song recorded by Underworld, originally released as a single in 1994. The track is from the band's 1993 album dubnobasswithmyheadman.

    In Underworld's live performances, "Cowgirl" is often played with "Rez", as they share key elements and samples. The typical arrangement is to open with "Rez" and transition to "Cowgirl", with the "Rez" melody usually brought back at the climax. The track is usually labelled "Rez / Cowgirl" in fan-distributed bootlegs. This combination also appears on the live album Everything, Everything. Slant Magazine ranked the song #27 in its 100 Greatest Dance Songs list, adding: "The jewel in the Orwellian dubnobasswithmyheadman’s crown was "Cowgirl"—everything, everything Underworld's thundering electronica has come to represent as a musical and political force."

    A key lyrical element in the song is Karl Hyde's repeated chant "Everything, everything."

    Okay, this is how it went down
    Sunday afternoon with the fellas at the play-ground
    Chillin', my father honked his horn at me
    Said I have a show in Texas
    And I gotta leave
    Texas, wow I've never been
    Maybe I can find a new hang out friend
    Anyway, packin' up my bags on my way
    Signin' autographs as I run to catch the plane
    I seen her, chubby cheeks with long braids
    Cute face, same age
    She played hard to get, as I offered out my name
    She just walked away with a smile
    Oh my little cowgirl

    My manger kept rushin' me to go
    I tried to look for her. I'd give a ticket to the show
    I thought I see a cowboy hat. But everyone was ready
    And our luggage was packed
    Hesitant for leavin' my heavensent cowgirl
    We ran off to the hotel
    As I practisin' in the hotel lobby
    She was on my mind full time
    The fellas tryin' to cheer me up
    I came down with a case of Puppy Love
    I went back to havin' fun
    Dancin' makes ya thirsty
    Plus it was time for lunch at the hotel restraunt
    Order me some burgers and fries
    Then to my surprise, walked in my cowgirl

    I met myself a cowgirl
    Put me on
    And now I'm on the stage
    Performing infront of a capacity
    Screamin' guys and screamin' girls
    But still no sign of my cowgirl
    As I head to the other front part of the stage
    There she stood, with s smile on her face
    My cowgirl, took her by the hand
    Brought her onstage and I started to dance
    With my cowgirl
    Yippie-ki-yo-yippie-yay
    Lil momma
    Yippie-ki-yo-yippie-yay
    Lil momma
    Yippie-ki-yo-yippie-yay
