Female hysteria

first observation took place at a Mexican restaurant in Rosarito. There were three female and two male involved in the conversation. The setting appeared to be a family dinner. The estimated age for the female differed; there was a teenager, a woman in her early thirties and the other appeared to be in her mid-forties. On the other hand, the males were between their early thirties and mid-fifties. The apparel for female is best identified…

big affect in the way they differ. Female chimps are much more solitary than the females of bonobos and are often harassed by chimp males. For chimps, sex is strictly for producing offspring and to ensure ones genes are passed along. Chimps are also guilty of infanticide. This enables the infant-less mothers to become mate worthy much sooner. In contrast, the society of bonobos is strengthened by powerful bonds between the females and as I mentioned earlier, female bonobos control the group by…

Females tend to have more connections between neurons and increased blood flow in this area. As a result, they may process information more quickly and may be able to respond to information faster than males (Gurian & Stevens, 2010). Additionally, the hippocampus, which converts information from short-term memory into long-term memory, tends to be larger in the female brain. The larger hippocampus may provide females with increased memory storage and the ability…

What behaviors are considered feminine and what traits are considered masculine? Being either male or female in today’s society begins with the classification of gender depending on the sexual organs each human is born with. Judith Lorber talks about what it means to “do gender” in “Night to His Day”: The Social Construction of Gender.

What does identity tell us about someone? Can they be identified without having an identity? In my opinion, identity is not something that identifies our race, gender or sexuality. I believe that when identifying someone, it comes within that person, meaning you identify someone by their thoughts and actions. Not everyone has their own identity because they can be someone who follows another person’s footsteps, but that identification technically does not belong to them. For example, I read a…

Different Gender, Both Humans Since the time we are born or even since the time our parents know they having a boy or a girl, we are socialized into rules and what does it means to be a boy or a girl. The set of beliefs, norms and practices depends in the place we live. Our family, friends and the media around us it what shape our culture and through them we are socialized into society.

lite dinner with a handsome hunk to attract the female consumer. It assumes and reinforces that this is the type of relationship and romance all women want. The man is very much presented as an object whose only purpose is sex appeal. If this man were to speak I get the impression that all he could manage would be some kind of an overly cheesy pickup line. I also believe that it is just generally problematic that this ad is so blatantly targeting females. The purpose of the ad is to sell salad…
