	'''Gayle S. Rubin''' (born January 1, 1949 in South Carolina) is an American cultural anthropologist best known as an activist and theorist of sex and gender politics, often referred to (and scapegoated as) a founder of [[Queer Theory]]. She has written on a range of subjects including [[feminism]], sadomasochism, [[prostitution]], [[pedophilia]], pornography and lesbian literature, as well as anthropological studies and histories of sexual subcultures, especially focused in urban contexts. Her 1984 essay "Thinking Sex" is widely regarded as a founding text of gay and lesbian studies, sexuality studies, and queer theory. She is an associate professor of anthropology and women's studies at the University of Michigan.		'''Gayle S.

	<blockquote>''By studying Douglas’s life, we can illuminate a world where the “charmed circle” of sexuality, as theorist Gayle Rubin puts it, was so narrow that those who were cast outside its limits shared common ground. Identity categories that are distant from each other today — like loose women, lesbians, and pederasts — were more proximate when they were all outside the charmed circle. Pederasty was less taboo before the 1950s, in effect, because so many other behaviors were disreputable as well. Pederasty was less distinct from other types of sexual non-conformity.''

	Rubin's charmed circle illustrates how different sexual practices exist on the outer limits of social acceptability, with those practices and desires in the center of the circle being regarded as "normal" / the norm in a given culture. Her diagram relates to the history of sex in the West, especially after the 1945 post-war period and the conservative backlash era of the 1980s.
