Critiquing the Details of Trees and Gender Labels
by Juniper Tremper

While these points support the comparison between the boundary between genders against the boundary between humans and nature, it’s true that a crucial element is overlooked. When the trees were planted, they reintroduced nature to humans. This should have been enough to breach the gap created by paving over the grass that once grew. In this respect, the approach to negating the effects of gender labels is entirely dissimilar from the humans vs. nature label, because the concept of gender itself is counterproductive, whereas the planting of trees is only unproductive once they are chopped down.

However, because the overall comparison relates to the process resulting in the tree stumps as opposed to only the initial process of planting the trees, the use of Haraway’s gender discussion to shed insight on the tree stumps is still valid.
