The societal normative for gender roles says we have ‘boy toys’ and ‘girl toys, ' ‘boy clothes’ and ‘girl clothes, ' and ‘boy jobs’ and ‘girl jobs.…

I crawl onto the white hot sands I have washed upon, my kakis torn from the knee down and my shirt revealing more of my chest than it is covering. My extremely malnourished and dehydrated body lays upon the shores of the beach looking up he the seagulls circling above resembling vultures. The broken handcuffs rub on…

From infancy, we learn that boys like blue, while girls like pink. Even the type of toys advertised differ greatly between genders. Boys should play with monster trucks and dinosaurs, while girls should play with Barbie and an easy bake oven. This creates expectations for each gender, which includes the expectations of heterosexual attraction. Additionally, certain languages have gender specific words, which determines one’s degree of femininity or masculinity. For instance, in…

Sandra would like to continue teaching and begin to work with ESL students. I’m very glad that I chose to interview Sandra because she gave me tips and ideas that I can integrate into my future classroom.

We are surrounded by advertisements that illustrate women and men representing their typical stereotypes roles such as the woman cooking and cleaning and men as the financial providers and the one in charge. To be able to confirm this gender stereotype theory our group watched three hours of prime time television on the CBS network and paid special…

Something that wouldn’t take too much effort so I wouldn’t burn my house down. Though my mom thought it was a little advanced for me, I decided to bake chicken as my first meal. I decided to use a recipe from thekitchn.com. The recipe was simple and easy to follow, requiring only four ingredients, an oven, and a baking dish. The description also stated that this method was known for keeping a chicken moist, something I wanted. I started with a very dusty baking dish from a…

from birth to death. Most of us feel the impact of the way pre-industrial people lived from an early age. The toys we played with as children were massively gendered. Marketed to boys are trucks, guns, and tools. Girls were given doll houses, easy bake ovens, and played dress up.

They would find a man, have children, maintain their home,…
