(13) Both of these grounds show how society wants to define these intersexed children as either male or female. This strict societal definition is why Kessler claims that gender is culturally constructed.

... industries annual sales. A different approach to borrowing one’s idea doesn’t nessacarily copythe product. Instead it involves misleading the consumer. As in one case, the Miller Brewing Company developed a new beer with a label similar to Annheuser Busch’s, who is currently the number one brewer in America. The “new brew” was aimed at taking away sales from “the King of Beers.” (Melcher 37) Logos are also often copied.
