The volunteers that stood up
today and depicted their interpretation of what a situation about the opposite
gender brought a lot of insight to me on the finesse that is associated with doing a gender well
or correctly. Something our class elaborated on that I believe could only be
done in such an environment was how the opposite gender has difficulty picking
up on those differences. This related back to the Connell reading well because
of the association with the differences that are within gender. In the
conversation we all truly understood where we are coming from as academics when
discussing the topic. We found from this exercise that there will be many
things that we will have to rely on people of the opposite gender to explain to
up because it is difficult to truly understand only though readings. The
reading additionally incorporated cultural differences and practices, and in
the upcoming weeks it is going to be interesting to view how peoples
upbringings will effect the way they view the gendered conversations we have.
