For my field notes, I was a participant observer amongst a similarly classified group of people (fraternity life), in three different scenarios. The first scenario was at a Greek philanthropy event, hosted jointly by a fraternity and a sorority, with the goal of raising funds for UConn’s Violence Against Women Protection Program. My second experience as a participant observer was at an open fraternity party, meaning that any outside guests were theoretically welcome to attend. Lastly, I attended…

Late Renaissance love poetry, written in a period of increasing secularisation of it subject matter, often contains sexist depictions of women: Robert Herrick is no exception. In his poetry females are often reduced to their physical attributes, or even, in poems like Upon Julia's Clothes, their attire. As a Cavalier poet, Herrick concentrated on the pleasures of the moment and believed that enjoying life was significantly more important than following strict moral codes. This can be seen…

Toys and Books: Tools for Teaching Gender Specific Behavior Toys are the most obvious, and therefore the least expected, method of influencing a child's behavior. It's a subtle method that starts when children can't even walk yet. At first the toys a child is given are gender neutral toys such as The Little Tikes Go and Grow Lil Rollin Giraffe, Fisher-Price Lil’ Snoopy, and The Playskool Poppin’ Park Elefun Busy Ball Popper. These toys are slowly replaced with more gender…

Many were mothers who killed their children and two were nurses who killed their own patients. Many of these mothers were motivated by the attention they received in the wake of their children’s deaths. The female serial killers also more commonly kill their victims using…

Sexism. You hear the word pretty much everywhere you go. What sexism means to me is downgrading someone because of the gender that they are and for what they do because of their gender. Sexism happens just about anywhere. It can happen on a bus, it could happen at school, it can even happen in sports. The most common place you see sexism is in jobs. No matter what job you have, there will always be that one person who is sexist. Sexism doesn’t just happen to girls, it can happen to boys too.…
