OK here is the Q: due 2 PP last day of class

what ONE finding or concept about gender "hit you" pointedly - and really made you think about and act towards gender in a new way.   You get 2 pages, and that includes your name and title.
  1. First specify the finding or the concept.
  2. Next bring in 2-3-4 other sources (discussion, videos, lectures, format of class, reading) that compliment or highlight your choice. Also associate the idea/concept with "real life"- either private or public life or both.
  3. Finally - sum it up and reveal how it does and will henceforth affect your life.

  2. yes - your reaction could stem from anything we discussed in class.
    I gave a few examples that day. As I recall they were:
    1. someone said, "I 'do better' with a windowless one-room apartment than I did with a red Porshe."
    2. how the discussion of male rape changed me after I heard of another woman teacher molesting a 14 year old student
    3. the maturing effect of the military on a person
    4. the general theme of linking and ranking, finding sameness vs. one upping
