A scholar was quoted in The Legacy of Slavery " the slave woman was first a full time worker for her owner and only incidentally a wife, mother and home maker." This lead me to believe that the idea of slave women were seen as un gendered because they were forced to embody the qualities of masculinity and femininity. The black woman was seen more as an asset to bring wealth and pleasure to her master. Thats why i think gender roles are a social construct invented to put one gender above the other. This can be seen in Egyptian culture which started as a matriarch with women as the ultimate being then they made the switch to patriarch with put men as the head. The switch can be seen in the Summerion creation when Marduk killed the great mother. I thought it was ironic that he was born from wisdom which imply s that he was superior to her. But when it comes to sexuality i believe its a innate feeling a person is born with . If you are more masculine or feminine is not determine by male or female or your reproductive organs.
