Communities Magazine — Spring 2014 Gender Issues Latest Issue in Print, Free Articles Published Online   Order a Sample Copy Gender Issues Theme—Issue #162 Our latest Communities issue on Gender Issues is proving to be very popular. If you haven't seen it yet, get a copy by subscribing or ordering a sample now! Our Spring 2014 issue focuses on Gender Issues. How do gender roles, gender relationships, and gender identity play out in intentional community? Our articles delve far beyond the confines of stereotypical male/female issues to explore what gender means to each of us. Authors discuss their experiences with gender-bending, genderqueerness, and expanding gender consciousness. They weigh the pros and cons of "corrective discrimination," and some suggest it's finally time to move beyond "women-only space." We also hear about ground-breaking approaches to housing the homeless and how Margaret Thatcher helped the cause. Please join the discussion!
