According to my cable guide, Court TV even has its very own channel where people can watch legal trivia around the clock. If we include fictional crime and law shows, the genre covers well over half of my television channels. The Dragnet and Perry Mason of my childhood have given way to a crowded field.

Some focus on the historical exclusion of women in the United States from public life and from certain professions, based on women’s alleged timidity and irrationality and their capacity for motherhood (Taub and Schneider 1998). Others, like Judith Butler (1990), argue that the dichotomization of sex into male and female is itself a sociolegal creation.
