The lives of individuals are shaped by their acceptance of the culture they live in from the moment they are born. The individual is born into an environment where gender role distributions were made before and realizes her meanings about life. These cultural codes that shape people's life, due to their patriarchal structures, women's social, political roles, etc., cause isolation in many areas of life. Although this situation is seen as the normal of society for long periods, it has become a situation that needs to be questioned with the changes and developments brought by the modern period. In this way, women became aware of the inequalities between men and women in social life and demanded improvements of their positions. The struggle of women for their legitimate rights sparked the feminism movement. In this project, within the framework of Judith Butler's thought, the issue of sex and gender, the norms underlying gender inequalities and the production forms of these norms are discussed. Butler's criticisms of the classical feminist movement, which defends a specific group of female subjects with common characteristics, are illustrated. Then, the perception of "common identity" that characterizes the female subject is problematized and examined in terms of its limitations. Finally, suggestions for a future where there are no exclusionary identities and norms are pointed out.
