Dresses

In a world full of bright stage lights, curly wigs, fake tanned legs, and bedazzled dresses, competitive Irish dance seems more like a Toddlers and Tiaras episode than an actual sport. However, behind all of the glitz and glam, Irish dance not only taught me how to put on a full face of makeup and lace my ghillies, but how to use my experiences from failure to benefit future success. Through setbacks and defeat in dance competitions, I learned to let go of my insecurities and allow my potential…

most societies are supposed to be delicate. They like flowers and wear dresses. Females have also been taught to be subordinate to men. Granted, as times change, so do views. I am from a particularly conservative family. My grandmother always enforced the idea that men are superior to women. By the time I was 10, I knew how to cook, clean, and even sew, so that one day, I would be the perfect wife. I was encouraged to wear dresses and keep my hair long. I will always remember the day that my…

Legally Blonde: A Meditation of Stereotypes Gender stereotypes are simplistic. Stereotypes do not bother to take account of the thoughts, behaviors, and individual desires of a person, merely taking interest whether or not the person is male, female, or nonbinary.
