How do we find gender in data from individuals?
I should start by saying what I mean by gender. I take gender to be, in part, the “values, norms and demands the female human being—precisely because she is female—comes up against in her encounter with the Other” (Moi 1999, 79). And, in part, it is what women and men make of the systematic way social interactions, structures, and institutions are organized around gender.
