you’re not like them.” I replied with an awkward, “Thank you.” Hold up! Did I not look in the mirror that morning? The last time I checked my dark chocolate skin had not suddenly turned pale. Have I forgotten how my bottom refuses to cooperate in a miniskirt? Why was I accepting her compliment instead of correcting her assumption? Why didn’t I speak up? Why was I so oblivious?

view on the overall journey. For example, in stanza 7 in the poem “Fish Cheeks” it says, “After everyone had gone, my mother said to me, “You want to be the same as American girls on the outside."

Today, I watched the pilot episode of Modern Family. I’d never watched the show before, but assumed it might provide some interesting gender roles and non conformities. Unfortunately, I was disappointed by the typical nuclear family portrayals and gender-role stereotypes that I’ve seen on most other family sitcoms. Let’s start with the Dunphy’s.

His presence at poetry class dressed as a women in a miniskirt, tights and high boots and hardly as a man wearing feminine clothes is evidence of the courage that he has to stand with dignity in the knowledge of who he is.

Beauty pageants have been a part of history. They are events in which the participants, usually females, of all ages are being judged based on their talent, physical beauty, and an interview portion. In which the contestants all dolled up in outfits, makeup, and excessive amounts of hair products. Some people regard beauty competitions as eye catching, harmless entertainment, but often the rigors of this pageantry inhibit the normal development of children, socially, and psychologically.…

Women wearing shorts, miniskirts and crop tops will often be mistaken for prostitutes and will be harassed, especially at night.
