As a Resident Assistant, I can expect to be confronted with at least a few incidents on a given weekend night. Although these incidents are often unpredictable in the sense that no two incidents are entirely alike, there are some general assumptions I can make before confronting the incident. One of the strongest assumptions allows me to hypothesize the trajectory of the incident based on the genders of the individuals involved. Based on my experience as a Resident Assistant, incidents involving…

Campus response to Pride I reflect black to my first pride week on the spelman campus and one of the days I was wearing the Afrekete T-shirt. Afrekete being the only LGBTQ organization on the Spelman campus. A certain young lady approached me because she believed that despite the fact that I was wearing the t-shirt, I really didn’t know what it was all about and what it represented. In her mind she thought I was an ally and I experienced the most homophobic conversation I ever had. When I told…

Women are often taught to be apologetic; they are taught that in order to be liked they must be agreeable. It seems, when a woman, or more specifically a female character is given the term “unlikable” she is like many of the male characters that the literary world tends to love. Spanning throughout the ages, audiences love, or love to hate unlikeable male characters, for example Heathcliff in Wuthering Heights.
