With depth and insight, Judith Roof demonstrates how thepersistent conflation of gender and sexual difference is, on the one hand, asimple taxonomic urge and, on the other, a cover that offers the security ofidentity in place of the frustrations and fears of the real asymmetries of personalpower dynamics.
