In context of my performative gender routine, it seems a challenge for me to distinguish how I conduct myself in relation and construction of my daily being. First, I will take us through a normal beginning to a weekday, glossing over my daily routine. Next I walk through my reflective perception of conversations between my group of girl friends in comparison to how I speak with my boy friends, contextualizing the social acceptance of how women should speak. In order to contract such data from myself, I logged almost every activity and interaction I did through my day, and then contracted from what I have learned in this class to apply it to what is a minimalist performative effort to me, though may resonate more strongly as a gendered performance

The word brings about a feminine background that does not merge well with the conception of a gender neutral term, even while the company does not push for one demographic over the other. The second construction of my appearance I noticed that supplies a sex category (Guarrasi) for me to fulfill is my choice of outfit and rings. As simple silver statement pieces, rings perfectly embody a characteristic that sustains a feminine indexicality, while male rings are generally categorized as a threat to masculinity. Socially, there is an assumption of the male subculture to just ‘throw on whatever is around’, because, “‘Real’ guys didn’t care about their appearance,” (Pascoe, 63). My carefully constructed assemblage of clothing reflects a drastic contrast to how I dress daily. Color and comfort seem to be major themes in which help to select a particular outfit, which then sets off a chain of jewelry selections that rely on the context of my mood and fashion sense for the day. These traits of mine, as Pascoe explained it, are completely unassociated with the conventional image of a ‘man’s’ way of not caring about their clothes. The third and last preparation I undertake does not follow strict gender role guidelines, as make-up is a typical category that a woman must wear and preform as a …show more content…
Another chain reaction is set off, and thus our gendered performances return within high intonations as reminder of a social influence emerging into our interaction. As Penelope Eckert explains in her linguistic piece, “the transition into a heterosexual social order brings boys and girls into mutual and conscious engagement in gender differentiation, in the course of which girls move into the elaboration of flamboyantly stylized selves.” (Eckert, 189). Preforming this designated ‘flamboyancy’ in our voices, we recall an indexed identity of how to interact within our corresponding genders when encountered with other social forces. Or as Austin describes in his article, How to do things with Words, it is generally necessary for words to be uttered in a certain ways that are deemed appropriate to the social standing of the environment, and thus others should react correspondingly to continue the “acts of uttering further words,” (8). Together, Stephanie, Veda and I lucidly reorganized the structure of our interactions in accordance to how we each ‘do’ gender, and returned to a shared gendered perceived identities of each other to continue our interaction in respect to the altered social
