    In the ethnography, The Cocktail Waitress, by James Spradley and Brenda Mann the waitresses conform to many of the gender roles, stereotypes, and stratifications that their wider society puts on them. They rarely challenge these cultural norms and expectations because nobody wants to question tradition, they want to be considered good waitresses, and most of all the men at the bar inforce the social norms put on the women. The first reason why the waitresses conform to many of the gender roles, stereotypes, and stratifications that their society puts on them is because nobody wants to question tradition or the way things have always been. In the text it states, “No one at Brady’s thinks to suggest that a male could be hired to work as a cocktail…

    In the story, “Cooking Lessons” by Rosario Castellanos, a Mexican poet and author, known for her articulate writings about gender oppression which influenced feminist theories, uses food images to reflect gender roles. Castellanos also uses an interior monologue to represent the fact that women have no voice and are expected to just do and know certain things as opposed to men, for example, cooking. Eloquently written, Castellanos illustrates the inner thoughts of an educated and independent woman who has to forget all she knows and enter a unknowing world where she must depend on a man and take on the traditional role of a woman; a housewife. The nameless narrator stands starring hopelessly into a kitchen not knowing what to do or where…

However, the gentrification of food is now commonplace and ‘soul food’ is not exempt, “Collard greens were suddenly the “new kale,” according to a Whole Foods marketing ploy last year. Sweet potatoes, once an economical source of rich nutrients, have made their way into cupcakes, pancakes, and even quesadillas. A bevy of food bloggers has “discovered” sweet potato pie” (Taylor, 2015). The Southern food versus ‘soul food’ argument, although essentially irreverent here, can be heated.…

    A good thesis is a statement that catches the reader’s attention but an even better thesis is one that makes the reader laugh. Dave Berry shows character in his essay “Turkeys in the Kitchen” by adding humor to get his point across. His thesis statement is amusing but yet interesting, he opens his essay by saying “Men are still basically scum when it comes to helping out in the kitchen.” This statement is unusual, because you would think that since Berry is a man he wouldn’t be talking down on his own gender. The essay is about gender roles during Thanksgiving and Berry uses a humorous tone throughout the essay to make his arguments relevant.…

It has been noticed than women are being paid less than men, and there is a male-dominant crowd in the workplaces. For no reason women are set apart when they are equally intelligent as men. It is very casual that women are also capable of doing a particular job as men. Gender discrimination in workplaces are fallacious assumptions and must be stopped because women are just as productive as a male employee is in doing an allotted task.…
