Bureaucratic behavior is correlated to gender behavior along several dimensions. Hegemony and hierarchy are discussed, including in terms of their hidden manifestations in both gender and bureaucratic relationships. Bureaucracy is suggested to be "fundamentally bisexual, or more precisely, devoid of a specific sex." Two prewar Soviet period films are analyzed, with the author concluding that "the bureaucratic apparatus of the Soviet authorities seems like both an enormous incubator and a gigantic obstetric clinic." "The people" and bureaucracy form a union, where sadly, "efficiency and concern for the optimum organization of labor come in last place."
