Question 3: Throughout this semester, this class has really pushed me outside of my comfort zone and made me aware of and question some of the gender differences that I have ignored and/or accepted throughout my life. It is clear that men, specifically wealthy, white men, still manage the world that we live in today. With the recent election, I have been thinking about how gender affects our society.
