The power hungry women in We Have Always Lived In The Castle, face the powerful male warriors in Beowulf. In both texts one gender has the upper hand of power over the other. In Beowulf male power overrides female power and women are only viewed as peacekeepers and have a lower role in the text. But in We Have Always Lived the Castle, Merricat and Constance despise male power and will do anything in their power to prevent the males from getting any power. In Beowulf, we see how male power is…

The issue of gender versus sex is a relevant discussion in our society today. We have begun to unsubscribe from the idea that biological sex determines gender, and instead acknowledge that they are separate from one another. As we start to recognize the difference between the two, a question emerges; should we eliminate the concept of gender altogether? While gender is a socially constructed idea, it is also an important identifying agent in our world and has important cultural meaning to us. We…

The gender of a person is something that is discussed from even before people are born. When someone is pregnant we want to know what the gender of the baby is, and we even do this with animals. We see a cute dog or cat and we ask the owner what the gender of the dog is. We want to know because we grew up in a society where you either have to be a boy or a girl. With this thought in mind, the communicative contexts that I have learned in this course that seem to really have an impact on shaping…

important to distinguish between sex and gender. Sociologists describe sex as the biological differences between a male and a female, particularly anatomically and physiologically (Newman, 2016). Moreover, it helps to explain the genitalia differences, as well as our differences in hormones. Some may see sex as more difficult to define – it is not as easy as black and white – and may be seen as something continuous instead, rather than only male and female. Whereas sex is more universally…

Day 1 Notes The first time I observed the family of Quails was June 5th, 2016 at 5:30 PM. I located them at 61st St and E Gold Dust Avenue. Their habitat included a mowed lawn and field of rocks (apache pink). The weather condition was mildly warm evening. A brief description of quails observed: the male has a generally blueish gray body. He has a black plume extending from his forehead. The fur covering his scalp is maroon. His face is black, though he has white facial markings (extends from…

On September 20, 2014 at the HeForShe campaign in the United Nations Headquarters in New York, Emma Watson, the United Nation Goodwill Ambassador, gave an inspirational speech about gender equality. Feminism, defined by Watson is, “the theory of the political, economic and social equality of sexes” (Watson). Before the twentieth century, men and women were treated differently due to their gender. Women were caretakers for their husband and children while men were the providers for the family.…

A Vindication of the Rights of Woman “A Vindication of the Rights of Woman” is significant because it allowed women to gain freedom, equality and was an influential component in developing the power and status that women hold today. Mary Wollstonecraft was born on April 27, 1759 in Spitalfields, London and died on September 10, 1797 in London, UK. She was a philosopher, critic, novelist, writer and advocate for woman’s rights (Johnstone). She is known to be “the first of a new genus” (Clark),…

In the media, when portraying domestic violence, men are often portrayed as the the aggressors toward women. In fact, women also commit acts of domestic violence themselves, but women receive less jail time. Studies show that there are greater sentences for domestic violence committed by a man and lesser sentences for domestic violence committed by a woman. It is important to understand that men are just as equal as women. Indeed, society is biased when it comes to females being the only victims…

Sexist School Dress Codes Changing clothes, embarrassed faces, and angry students have been a result of the dress code. All around the country, the school dress codes are getting harsher and harsher each year. Many of these rules have caused discomfort in many female students across the nation. The school dress code is unfairly directed towards females, it sexualizes the female body, and humiliates students whenever they get chastised for breaking the rules. As the school dress codes get more…
