zigzags back and forth through bullets, the men she is attempting to persuade “[applaud] and [whistle] with admiration” (Ghoussoub 75). The brown men who would laugh in her face in a more stereotypical story instead bring her into the fold. The prior option of the two occurs in the film Sahara, where a “reckless, daring and assertive [white woman]” decides to enter a “‘men only’ race” in the “Oriental desert” (Shohat). Unsurprisingly, Brooke Shields’ character is almost immediately abducted and…

particular experience that I am examining is that of the education system. Transgender people have been up until recently almost entirely ignored by our society. The very concept of being transgender or anything related to it (genderfluid, agender, non-binary, two-spirit) is rarely discussed in any public setting, and even less likely to appear in school curriculums. Although homosexuality is a topic discussed in an increasing number of provinces sex-ed or health curriculums, only Ontario…

evil white the other represent good. In The Dictionary of Symbols, black represent “chaos,” “dissimilation,” “passivity” while white represents “activity,” “ascension,” “purity” (Cirlot,43 44 45 52 54 56). The symbols make the idea of having two options: good, evil; black, white.

These pieces of literature portray good in evil through the symbolism of black in…

English also lacks a third person pronoun for instances when a person’s gender is unknown.

increasingly imperative that as people move away from the binary gender thought and towards a more open way of thinking, that they are educated and hear the stories of gender identity that so many in this world have. To share in brief, the following is my story with gender identity. My history with gender identity has unfortunately been a recent one. I always knew there were something more to gender identity than just the basic binary and cisgender idea that was drilled into my head by…

How Straight, White Men Make Gay Sex Straight White, straight men having sex with other straight men works to reproduce heteronormativity. They do this by utilizing the ideology that heterosexuality is natural and homosexuality is the opposite and unnatural. They adjust their discourses around same-sex sex to categorize it as straight or gay, masculine or feminine, depending upon the situation. White, straight men engineer situations in which they can participate in same-sex activities under a…

Proportional Odds Model A binary logistic regression model estimates the odds and the probability of experiencing an event for the dichotomous outcome variable on a set of predictors. The logistic regression model is defined as: ln(Y′) = logit [π(x)] = ln = α + β1X1 + β2X2 + …+ βpXp. (1) where logit [π(x)] is the log odds of success, and the odds is a ratio between the probability of having an event and the probability of not having that event. By extending binary…
