Karenya Garrett: Consent by Jason Reitman
This short film starts off as this awkward,corny,romantic situation in beginning. But as it started to pick throughout, it got the core of the situation, comically, without being offensive. I thought that Reitman did a good job with how he approached the topic, conveying the issue with a comedic approach, but still not disregarding the issue whatsoever. I enjoyed on how the lawyers took over once the consent form came into play. I think that added more the comedic value of the film. I liked over how the gender of the lawyers were switched with the gender of clients. The shots were good, medium shots and the close up to show the relationship with their clients. Overall, I enjoyed the short film and thought

Sara, a female freshman at the time, was supposedly sexually assaulted at a party by three men. A large focus of the case was whether Sara gave sexual consent or not.

    Tamir believes Western women give mere consent because they compare themselves to other women who are the “ideal women” or have something that they lack. Some women find themselves wanting what they have found on the other women. For instance if she doesn’t have a busty chest she feels she needs to have bigger breast because someone has it and she’s getting noticed by guys.

    Deborah Tannens essay “Sex, Lies and Conversation: Why Is It So Hard for Men and Women to Talk To Each Other?” offers many explanations as to why men and women converse differently. Tannen concluded from her own research that the linguistic differences, body language, and silence in opposing settings have an equal contribution as to why the genders communicate differently among groups of all the same gender and groups of opposing gender. While women often add their input on a situation men find that as being a challenge of their dominance. Tannen effectively demonstrates the riff between the genders through the use of childhood experiences, and showing how younger experiences shape adult communication behaviors. Men and women have very different…

    The article “Sex, Lies and Conversation” by Deborah Tannen illustrates several points about the differences and similarities between the conversational techniques of men and women of varying ages. In her article, she mentions how men and women have different expectations of what a conversationalist is supposed to do, one of them being that women “assume a conversationalist's job is to express agreement and support” (para 19) meanwhile men “see their conversational duty as pointing out the other side of an argument” (para 19). This can create unintended tension between both people, such can be seen in the book Deep Down Dark by Hector Tobar. Chapter four of the book is when hunger and desperation first begins to show itself within the 33 men.…

    Though a lot of movies dealing with social oppression are very gloomy, this movie was light hearted and made people think as well. I was surprised at the amount of nudity in the film because I was not expected that for a long period of time. I feel like it really did not add anything to the story, but since they were loose women at a bar, the part fit well. It just did not have to have about 5 minutes of full on nudity with the progress of the movie not moving forward. I did like the fact that the author symbolized the old men as nature versus nurture.…
