[edit] Article created

I just added this article, because I think it is conceptually crucial in feminist theory. I am not really sure about its history. I am hoping that someone at some point who knows the history of the concept can add who coined the term as its used today and a few comments about its role in feminist history.--Agnaramasi 01:40, 26 July 2006 (UTC)

I agree it is an important discussion, my question about is is wether attribution of a certain sexual orientation or gender is an essential property? --RickardV 09:44, 26 January 2007 (UTC)

A good idea for an article. I believe the distinction was first articulated by Gayle Rubin in her article 'The Traffic in Sex' if anyone has the time this should be mentioned. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 92.4.56.34 (talk) 14:45, 20 May 2008 (UTC)
