This interest led to her pre
sent concern of how children
develop gender concepts and
why they place so much impor
tance in them, Bern said.
"My approach questions why
is it and how is it that little girls
and little boys are turned into
psychologically male and
female people.” she said. "1
believe that people look at the
world through ‘gender lenses.’
"In other words, what we see
is gender colored,” Bern said.
"We ask, what sex is this thing?
What am 1? If the thing's sex
and the person’s match, then
they are likely to check it out.
But if something, such as a par
ticular behavior, does not match
up with our sex. then we are
less likely to explore it." she
said.
Why this process occurs is
also an important focus for
Bern.
“My view says that children
pay so much attention to gender
not because it is natural to
them, but because our culture
communicates that it is a very
important quality.”
Rethinking how children
think about gender can also
have important implications,
especially in terms of
psychological theory and tradi
tional concepts of male and
female.
“Sex doesn't necessarily have
to be so important or entail so
many other implications as it
does in our culture.” she said.
"Adults, like children, look at
themselves through gender
lenses. We need to take these
lenses off to start looking at
ourselves and others in a new
way."
Bern also believes that the
concept of gender lenses can be
used to explain other psycho
sexual phenomenon, such as
transsexualism.
"Transsexuals are people
who are saying that. ‘I am one
sex psychologically, and my
body is another sex,’ " she said.
"Transsexuals are extra heavy
wearers of gender lenses, just
like ultra-masculine men and
feminine women. If culture
didn't consider that sex and
gender were so important, there
might be fewer transsexuals,"
she said.
The current trend toward
more flexible gender identities
and roles in our society can be

enough information regarding
the request would be gathered if
the Emerald requested funding
through the hallot.
Michelle Brence, Emerald
editor, assured the IFC that she
and other staff members will be
available to talk to students
about the budget request.

proposal.

Originally, tin: money was in
tended to be used to purchase
equipment the ASUO could
either lease or give to ASIJO
programs as a money-saving
device. However, after the plan
was researched, it was deter
mined by the ASUO that the
idea would not save money
because of replacement costs of
the equipment and its parts.
