Abstract
![CDATA[This chapter explores such questions as: why is so much of what we know about sexuality limited to the physical body? Why does Ussher argue that both science and the law protect and serve men? How does the law construct what it means to be a “man” or a “woman” in society? How does socio-biology continue this tradition today? Why has the law viewed homosexuality between men differently than lesbianism? How have science and medicine served as a form of social control over women historically and still today?]]
