en-wikipedia-org-3633		Judith Butler - Wikipedia			.html	text/html	10586	1422	63	Judith Pamela Butler[2] (born February 24, 1956) is an American philosopher and gender theorist whose work has influenced political philosophy, ethics, and the fields of third-wave feminist, queer,[3] and literary theory.[4] In 1993, they began teaching at the University of California, Berkeley, where they have served, beginning in 1998, as the Maxine Elliot Professor in the Department of Comparative Literature and the Program of Critical Theory. The essay draws on the phenomenology of Maurice Merleau-Ponty and the feminism of Simone de Beauvoir, noting that both thinkers grounded their theories in "lived experience" and viewed the sexual body as a historical idea or situation.[22] Butler distinguishes "between sex, as biological facticity, and gender, as the cultural interpretation or signification of that facticity."[22]	./cache/en-wikipedia-org-3633.html	./txt/en-wikipedia-org-3633.txt
