Something that I thought was very interesting this week, was watching the short films of the office. Its amazing how much gender examples that you can pinpoint throughout the entire show and then compare them to the ones seen in the book. Another thing that I really enjoyed learning about this week, was the comparisons on how a man and a women "should act." Many individuals see women as having to always look their best, to put on make up each and every day and to act like a lady. I used the example in class that I am a softball player at Utah State, and with our schedules of being up at 5 am each and everyday, getting ready for school isnt something that we care to do all the time. That doesnt mean we look like men and that doesnt mean we are not considered women or ladies, just based on our choice of clothing For games we get all dolled up. We wear makeup and do our hair and yet we are still "ball players." You shouldnt have to label someone to act and look a certain way, cause at the end of the day its your choice and your life. But I truely did enjoy this lesson this week!
