Gender studies instigated with the different social movements, precisely women’s movements. But then again it progressively and steadily by focusing on the differences between men and women, looked at sexual differences and less binary definitions of gender categorization. Gender Studies has not been limited to sex or gender and never be. All the characteristics of humanity undeniably sex and gender on the one hand, and indeed, on the other hand, all the social and political issues are under the cover of gender studies and it gives them an opportunity to establish their existence. Today, these disciplines study the living body in literature, linguistics, human geography, history, political science, archaeology, economics, sociology, psychology, anthropology, cinema, media studies, human development, law, public health, medicine, etc. It also analyses how race, ethnicity, location, class, nationality, and disability intersect with categories of gender and sexuality. Therefore, when it comes to gender studies, one should always remember that this field not only seeks to defend sexual rights, but also it is going to uphold philosophically and scientifically all the aspects of living bodies.
