Week #6 Comments to Rhiannon

Iagree!! I feel like women sometimes have to be torn about wheter to work or stay home with there childern. It is such a hard choice to make because you work so harc for your career but you also don't want to miss your child's life. Not to mention you don't want to leave your child at a day car when they could be home with you. I agree that people need to get the facts before making opinoins. My parents had to both work. They got divorced when i was 9 and my mom had to work even more to keep our household running. Poeple should never comment unless they have walked in the other persons shoes!!

WEEK #6 Eureka Moment

My Eureka Moment came to me while watching an episode of Maury when I was home sick this week. (HAHA) I could not understand a few things.....1) Why would women you slept with so many men that they already tested 10 guys who were NOT the father continue to embassess themselves on national television. 2) WHy do people feel like it is a good time to reveal to their husband/boyfriend that they may not be the father to further embrass them not just with their family but all of America? My Eureka Moment is this...women no longer feel modest, afraid or anything when it comes to sex. They have no shame in the fact that they have no clue who the father of their child is. This brings me back to my project where old Tv shows would show 2 seperate beds for husbands and wives NOW these women are bringing 10 guys on Tv to figure out who the father is. Is crazy to me especially since the window to concieve is not that big...so within a small period she slept with that many people. WHERE DID OUR SELF RESPECT GO??? that is what I felt like jumping through the tv and saying.

WEEK # 1 Comments

RESPONSE TO ASHLEY O.I love that when you read this you thought you would be a feminist after this class. I stopped for a second when I first read that part of the book too as was wodnering if I was one. I took Psych of Gender, Psych of Women and now this. I am not a feminist yet but it caught my attention. I sometimes felt like in my other 2 classes it was almost all girls so it turned into a club against men lol. I think this course is going to be great bcause we can see all type sof views...then we can decide if we are feminsits lol.

Week # 5 Response to Ashley

Ashley,IT is funny you say this because if I stopand think about my job whenever it comes to lifting something or doing anything to maual it is always assumed one of the guys will do it for me. Like before I even try someone is behind me like no..noo I got it! Like I am in capaable of doing anything that involves "labor"...in case people forgot speaking of labor we do give borth to children and they say a man could never go through it. It is too bad that people don;t pay more attention because maybe it would change. I feel like I never really notices because Ijust got so use to it. AND is a guy to strong and manly to do desk work LOL. You should tell the guys at your place to switch for a day and see how it goes.

WEEK #5 Eureka Moment

My Eureka Moment came when I learned about these groups of men who are feminsits. I think it is amazing. I had no idea they existed until I did the reading this past weekend. My eureka moment is that it is great that their are men who feel like women are capable of all the same things as men (I know many men do) BUT they feel so strong they actually stand up for this issue. WOW!!!!There are not too many more words other than how nice this was to learn about.

Week # 4 Commet to Shaina

It is shame that we have to see the visiion of what women "should" be. Like if I drink that Orange juice I will look like that and not have a care in the world. I will be jumping around singing. I will tell you why she is all happy...because she got paid to do that. If someone pays me I will since in a spoon. LOL I learned in Psych of Women all about how the media uses body image and weight to get to women. It awful! I am not saying we should be fat BUT we shouldn't be told what to be!

Week # 4 Eureka Moment

So my eureka moment came to me when I though about how I really don't have that many male friends. I use to be one of those girls who had guy and girl friends and was equally close with them. Then I looked at my younger sister who has like all guy friends and only 1 close female friend. I realized she has so many guy fiends because all the girls don't like her because she is friends with these guys. I was equal with my friends where she is one of the girls who the guys love to hang out with But their girl friends hate. Haha! So my moment is this....girls and guys can be friends BUT can you have both??? This is the million $$ question.
