Este texto pretende reafirmar que as categorias de sexo, gênero e sexualidade são construções sociais e, portanto, não fundamentadas em um determinismo biológico. Assim, as partes genitais (sexo) ao serem ativadas sexualmente produzem as práticas de ser masculino ou feminino (o que independe da formação biológica genital) definindo, assim, o gênero como ação e, por sua vez, gerando um impulso a ser satisfeito (sexualidade). Partindo dessa premissa, faz-se necessário historicizarmos, a partir da análise da obra literária Trópico de Capricórnio, romance de Henry Miller (1961 EUA, 1975 Brazil), o primado da masculinidade, tendo como ponto de partida a história do homem viril que as sociedades ocidentais patriarcais ajudaram a construir.
This text intends to reaffirm that the categories of sex, gender and sexuality are social constructions and, therefore, not based on a biological determinism. Thus, the genital parts (sex) when being sexually activated produce the practices of being male or female (which is independent of the genital biological formation), thus defining gender as action and, in turn, generating an impulse to be satisfied (sexuality). Based on this premise, it is necessary to historicize, from the analysis of the literary work Tropic of Capricorn, Henry Miller's novel (1961 USA, 1975 Brazil), the primacy of masculinity, starting from the history of the manly man who Western patriarchal societies helped to build.
