- what is expected of men and women in America in 2012 that’s specific to gender? I feel in 2012 there is definitely a double standard with women and men. You can see the social behavior on shows like the jersey show i think that would probably be the best example to display. You see in the jersey shore theyre a family basically of Italian guidos and guidetes. They work during the day then go out partying and take people back home and do theyre deeds. The men are exalhted while the women are ridiculed and known as whores or things of that nature while the men are seen as cool or players. For me a woman is the opposite and opposites attract and i view women as equals. - how are men and women perceived in America in 2012 by the opposite sex?what are the difficulties/advantages of being a man or a woman in 2012? Women to some are still percived as unequal / all they are fit to do is cook and clean and i think that is wrong. Im not sure of the advanteges/ disavantages. - what are some stereotypes associated with being a man or a woman in 2012? But as for stereo types men not being loving and women being caring and what not
2. Using one of last week’s Scenario Questions, Write a 5 line answer-explanation from the perspective of one of the characters from Garcia Girls. Put simply, if Yolanda or Carlos, etc. were posed this question, based on what you know about them thus far, how would they answer, and why?
I just want my daugjhter to be good and put in a position where she doesnt disgrace our family that is all i want in life and i think the responsibility of a good father i should do everything in my power to enforce an protect my daughter and my family name. So i conclude in my opinion that im doing everything right
Tunji, your angle is not the angle I took but I do agree with you. Your point of the opposite sexes attracting each other (as opposites attract) makes sense but I'm not sure if it works in practice. Just because you may be attracted to something does not necessarily mean you respect it. You could be attracted to a pole dancer or witchcraft practicer that you think is attractive but you do not have to respect them.
ReplyDeleteTunji, I agree with you that men often get away with things and women who make the same actions are shamed for doing so. Your example is spot on with Jersey Shore. The males bring home girls almost every single night, and the females, not so much. If and when they do bring home males (which is rare compared to their roomates) usually a joke is made toward them and they are called names. Men are given reward for certain actions while women are given harsh stereotypes.
