And the women…


After talking about femininity I found that one of the largest health problems for men is that masculinity is never compared to femininity, femininity is only compared to masculinity. This makes it difficult for men to move beyond the ideas that have been made for them.
In our most recent class meeting it was very interesting to discuss women in class today. Early in the semester our professor mentioned how women are not as bothered about discussing stereotypes because women are always talked about, and analyzed. I found today in the discussion it difficult to carry on a conversation. All of the women in the classroom have heard all the arguments beforehand, and we have discussed solutions and plans with friends to violence against femininity. There didn’t seem to be a lot of new ideas to be discussed because everyone in the classroom wants more. I have always said that playing devils advocate is the most exciting place to play because it always livens up the conversation, and I think when we talk about women again I am going to play the role in order to create more controversy.
