Gender Economy is a metascience built on the base of the biological duality of the human species. Sexual is the dominant discourse of reproduction and love - therefore the base of human power. The complementary dual male and female gender roles and gender powers constitute even the sexual and the biological. The war between sexes is the symptom of the war between genders that all too often end in wars between nations, classes, rases and other groups.Gender roles are often used even as male and female weapons. In the case the bearers of these tools are not harmoniously aware of the definite and balanced place each gender role plays for the whole and each other, if the understanding of the gender contract and anyones place in the gender traits and activities of the whole is corrupt, gender wars occur.
I suggest that there is a gender economy involved in everything we do as all aspects of human interaction are gendered. Engagement in irrational gender use results in costs and rational gender use stimulates satisfactions. Many problems of modern life can be attributed to a lack of control over our gender roles and lack of trust that other people, organizations, systems, states would posses competence in the harmonisation of gender powers, traits, sexed division of labour etc. The costs, great mistakes in life – war, poverty, hatred of other gender-cultured peoples, not to speak of neurosis, suicide, crime, drunkenness – spring partially from a lack of gender balance and are to be looked upon as inferiority complexes, as pernicious attempts to deal with a situation in a way that is inadmissible and unsuitable. The cause of gender-based violence is gender inequality. In that sense, gender based violence is any form of violence used to establish, enforce or perpetuate gender inequality.
“Gender satisfactions instead of gender wars” could be the motto. Androgyny intends to empower individuals to make rational choices being able to use the traits from the whole spectrum of femininity-masculinity and to make the most out of any particular situation controling the weakness and strength of both genders, hence the whole spectrum of possiblilities. Metaphorical gender association could be usefull for direction of identity even on organizations, sciences and societies. Adjusting theories of Ferguson, Hearn, Gullvåg Holter, Jalmert, Kimmel, Lang, Morrel and de Vylder, about gender-violence, I conclude the androgynous gender identity could offer individuals, corporate settings, sciences and societies enormous powers of satisfaction – economical/political, sexual/reproductive, parental/pedagogical, peace/freedom etc.
In Perfect Gender Economy males and females have confident sex-identities as men and women (or other ) empowered with androgynous gender-identities whole-gendered by femininity and masculinity. Individuals, organizations, societies, sciences etc. have maximized the accomplishment of their personal identities.
Gender Economy studies how individuals, firms, institutions and governments make choices of masculinity and femininity weighing the costs and benefits of each possibility and combining those rationally to maximize their individual and collective profits.
Gender is a cultural knowledge that differentiates the complementary cultures of feminine and masculine. Femininity and masculinity is a set of practices and norms for interpersonal behaviour, roles for individuals to perform, ways of being, ways of knowing, modes of conduct, standpoints and worldviews. I assume here that everything beyond mating and reproductive behaviour is gender roles. All sorts of hetero- and homo-sexual attraction are a combination of biological sex and social gender. As hard / impossible / unnecessary the biological urge is to control, gender is controllable. As all facets of human interaction are gendered, a lot of control and satisfaction maximization can be won by discovering gendered realities.
Economy studies how individuals, firms, governments, and other organizations within our society make choices, and how those choices determine the way the resources of the society are used . Underlying most of ecomonic analyses is rationality assumption meaning that units operate to maximize their profits. Increasing living standards is the central economic goal over the long run.
Gender Economy science, when mature, could offer structured methods for establishing the ideals of gender androgyny and femimasculism for whole-gendering of individuals and societies to empower them with the multi-powers of satisfaction -economical/political, sexual/reproductive, parental/pedagogical, freedom/responsibility, peace etc.
Gender Economy involves elements of both positive and normative economics. Positive economics is concerned with what is, with describing how gender economy functions. Normative economics deals with what should be, with making judgments about the desirability of various courses of gender balancing action. Normative economics makes use of positive economics. Positive Gender Economy analyses actual gender identities and ideologies. Normative Gender Economy estimates direction and suggests a plan of action to reach the goals of the most productive and satisfying gender identity and sexed ideology agendas.
Gender Economy could give individuals competence in the wide spectrum of femininity and masculinity with gains for a confident personal biological sex identity, delivering the tools for balancing the different aspects of gender for the maximal profit for the individual, family, organization and society. Gender identity is dependent of and created by the environment around it. The ideological level of the gendered struggles of sexes is intimitely consolidated with the segregation of labour market and individual gender identity.
The effort here is to combine gender ideologies into an objective science opening up for the synergy of their eventual micro- and macroekonomical forces. The attempt is to articulate masculism as a dual and complementary ideology.
Underlying much of economic analysis is the basic economic assumption of rational choice, that people weigh the costs and benefits of each possibility. This assumption is based on the expectation that individuals and firms will act in a consistent manner, with a reasonably well-defined notion of what they like and what their objectives are, and with a reasonable understanding of how to attain those objectives.
In the case of an individual, the rational assumption is taken to mean that the individual makes choices and decisions in pursuit of his/her own self-interest. Different people will, of course, have different goals and desires of sustaining or developing their gender as feminine, masculine, whole-gendered androgyn or undifferentiated gender identities. The most proffitable is the androgynous though.
TopIn the case of firms, the rationality assumption is taken to mean that firms operate to maximize their profits. Femininity and masculinity can be rationalized through gender-SWOT. Gender refer to four distinct elements in the gender construction:
If these four areas are not gender balanced, if one of the genders or sexes is dominating, then the profit maximization is out of reach. So if the percentage share of men and women is more unequal than 60:40, if the image of activity of the firm is binary gendered and that is not the required objective, if the values and ideas are binary gendered, and if the activity form is too much competing or protected, Gender-SWOT will be able to balance the actual gender environment and maximize the profits of the firm.
In the case of state and society, the rational assumption means maximizing prosperity, wealth and security of its people. For example:
...then all this will underpin a general tendency in that society to construct women as distinct from men and will not lead to maximized prosperity, wealth and satisfaction of people.
TopScarcity figures prominently in economics: choices matter because resources are scarce. Individuals, firms and societies must make choices. Somehow decisions are made and determine how the economy´s limited resources are used. The decisions of millions of women and men juggling feminine and masculine activities, traits and values interact to determine the use of the scarce resources available to the society.
“Economists engage in four basic questions concerning how economies function: 1) What is produced and in what quantities?; 2) How are these goods produced?; 3) For whom are these goods produced?; 4) Who makes economic decisions and by what process?”
The products of Gender Economy are feminine, masculine, whole-gendered androgyn or undifferentiated identities of individuals, organizations and societies (and anything androgyn or gynandrous inbetween). The resources of femininity and masculinity can be used and combined rationally. The product is produced and the decisions are made by mother, father, family, nursery, childcare, schools, universities, bureaucracies, media, state etc. and self-creation.
The decisions and choices involved in the production of gender-identities have historically been based on traditions of complementarity, rarely preparing sexes for cross-competence. Traditional production of human gender identities could be undesirable in the modern world, as it is limiting individuals, families, organizations and societies, trapping them in male or female gender. Modern society has easened the burdons of the struggle for the survival of humans where the principle of complementarity was crucial for the survival of species. We do have the time and means to become more satisfyingly whole-gendered now.
I introduce Gender Economy as a new label but as an actual phenomena it has existed as long as the humans exist. Its ideals and strategies differ greatly from culture to culture, but rationality through all this difference is the same. Males and females are trained complementary differently, prepared for different body plans, trapped in their bodies, defined by their genitals.
For market economies to work efficiently, individuals, firms and societies must be informed and have incentives to act on available information. Indeed, incentives can be viewed as the heart of economics. Market economies provide information and incentives through prices and profits. Price is an issue I do not discuss here (t. i. what are the prices of cross-dressing of sexes, women can wear almost anything, women-transvestite-images are common reality in corporate settings and public sector). The profits of Gender Economy are multiple gender-satisfactions.
Through conscious developed science of Gender Economy individuals, firms and societies could gather tools of strength and learn pitfalls of masculinity and femininity to build a whole-gendered base to their sexual identities as males or females or anything inbetween, become the choosers and masters of gendered behaviour, not the victims of it. State and society would learn the strength and weakness of both feminism and masculism and rationalize objectively macro economical policies. Achievement of such a goal would lead to Perfect Gender Economy and profits of economical, political, sexual, parental, pedagogical, freedom etc. and peace satisfactions. Such a perfection is a practical utopia, but real as a direction.
TopThe scarcity in gender-economical empowerment is in the limits of our minds and educational systems. The scarcity of the amount of masculinity or femininity in individuals, organizations and societies has recently been introduced as an economical and scientific question . Even if we do not have the strength to continually adopt for the novelties of our new ultra-modern world, the whole-gendered androgyn base of any sexual identity should take you through basic types of conflicts and challenges, if gender-SWOT is used, as it covers competence over all the aspects of human activity.
On the individual level scarcity would focus mainly on the choices fortifying person’s sex identity to fulfil the basic desires of a sexed individual (mating and reproduction). This would practically mean that delimiting gender tools to suit your actual sex (femininity for females, masculinity for males) can be enough to fulfil your animal urge. To reach the goals in the most dynamically satisfying human harmony, that would last and not fade away in conflicts, individual should master both genders.
I suggest that the problem of scarcity in gender matters is more a question about the cultural consciousness and maturity. The economical resources of gender one individual or family, organisation or state has to dispose are always scarce in one way or another, hence, have to be used rationally.
TopGender economical profit maximization is maximization of gender satisfactions. “Gender satisfactions instead of gender wars” should be the motto. Androgyny intends to empower individuals to make rational choices being able to use the traits from the whole spectrum of femininity-masculinity and to make the most out of any particular situation controling the weakness and strength of both genders, hence the full range of possiblilities. Individuals, organizations and societies with androgynous gender identity could reach enormous powers of gender satisfactions - material/political, spiritual/healthfull, pedagogical /reproductive, environmental/ethical, peace/non-violence, freedom/responsibility, etc.
