Improved Essays
In “I’m Done With Not Being Believed” the author Amber Tamblyn is talking about how she is afraid to go it the position of a producer of a television show. She is telling the story of discrimination throughout the sexes. The average male gets a lot more recommendation through the working world than the average female. She talked about one of her male crew member that kept showing up to her apartment after work unexpectedly, and I got to thinking that is mighty strange that her crew member was male and then when she described him and he seemed really weird. Amber said that he kinda liked him in the beginning and that they flirted a little bit on set but she was in a committed relationship and she didn't walk to mess that up.

    Gender Roles and Power in Myra Breckinridge by Gore Vidal The Sexual Revolution of the Sixties was a breath of fresh air for marginalized people. It did for the genders what people like Achebe, Mandela and Luther King Jr. had been trying to do for racial discrimination for years; reversed and broke down the familiar binaries and introduced the ‘in-betweens’ into the midst.

In the book, Vidal satirically contemplates the assigned gender roles of men and women and this paper seeks to find out, in the light of the Gender and Queer Theory, how power associated with masculinity and the divide between…
