I think you make some valid points in your blog. Why do people want to dress the girls identical? Why don't they want them to be individualistic because they both will have a different personality. I will say before taking this class I would of laughed and thought it was funny if I saw those bibs that she had gotten. But you are right. Why would a company manufacturer bibs with hottie, babe and sexy. For God's sake they are only babies! What gets me is when a boy wants to take one of thee girls out one day will the father appreciate them calling them hottie, babe or sexy? I don't think so!!!!! More like beautiful works and is nicer. Society has really gotten out of hand with the things that are exposed. A baby is not hot, nor sexy. A baby is a precious beautiful creation made my God.

You make a interesting point because why do we see all the time the person who is the receptionist at a office always a girl? It is kind of interesting and I think the fact of the matter is women tend to not want to do that work. I can tell you that the girls I worked with at my job where we would have to lift court bags would always ask me to get them for them. They really never wanted to do it. While on the other hand my part time job at a market there are plenty of girls I work with who are picking up heavy things and unloading a box truck everyday. I don't want to sound bias in anyway, but I working in a office with people from USA. I work in a market with people from Poland and Russia. The women from Poland and Russia seem to be hard workers who will do anything you ask them to do. While the women I worked with just rather sit at the desk and work on the computer all day. I just think it's the roles society plays that get them to be this way. I think it's great for you to want to do things like this. And your right many times guys think they need to do the manuel things cause it be to much for the girls.

TO be honest I thought the movie was actually really good to watch and learn from actually. You should really see it. : ) I prefer to hear the truth because no matter what it may hurt, but every human being is willing and capable of getting over it. It hurts even more when you are lead on to believe something someone else know's is not true. You get your hopes up so high that eventually you get them brought down anyway. It's better sooner then later. Don't you think

WEEK 5

My Eureka Moment of the week was while I was watching a movie he’s just not into you with my sister on Friday night. The movie sparked many flags in my head and I was thinking the whole time about how we talked about these issues in class. To me it was this girl who was desperate for getting a boyfriend and they would never end up calling her back. She would keep calling them and thinking that they would eventually call her back. Well all the women kept telling her oh he will call you back and making up excuses practically for why he had not called her back yet. The one girl even wrote out on a pad what to call and leave on the guy’s message after calling him so many times. Well eventually she goes to this restaurant because she knew he goes there. She ends up telling the owner of the bar and restaurant who she was meeting and then he tells her he doesn’t come in on these nights. Well she’s baffled by this and ends up telling him she really was not meeting him, but she wanted to bump into him. Well being a guy he bluntly says he won’t ever call her back. So as time goes on through out the movie she is always calling the owner about advice and he would tell her the truth. After watching this movie I was thinking about how so many times women always try to sugar coat everything as to if they’re to afraid to say the truth. I realize how open men are and how they don’t play games. It’s interesting to see the differences in how people are told things. I think that being just open and honest about issues is better then beating around the bush. I know sometimes people don’t want to hear it and it might hurt, but we as human beings are strong enough to overcome it. I think this movie was a splitting image of how we as gender operate when dealing with situations. Women look more towards the caring and comforting role and men are more of the blunt and being tough role. I just thought the movie had related a lot to what we have been talking about during this semester and as I watched it all of these things from class were popping in my head. I don’t think people realize and understand gender roles as much as when you read into it. It’s mostly just how we act and we just go with the flow, but as you get in more depth you start to analyze things in a different way then most normal people do.

This is interesting to hear your experiences and I am sorry to hear they always have to end this way. I mean I have been friends with a girl since I was in 1st grade and maybe when you become so close so young it is different then when your an adult. I find it rather interesting how you become someone who thinks you are just there as a shoulder to lean on then they throw you a curve ball and express themselves to you in a way you did not think was possible. What makes it worse is you don't want to be the reason he leaves his wife nor will you feel the same after he expresses himself to you. I think why guys dont express themselves to women is they are afraid of what happened to him. Being to open will only lead them to loosing the person so they hold everything in that is why men are the way they are when it comes to talking about things.

Wow this is a great post because it's so true!! I had never thought about this till I read your post and thought wow I so here my mom saying that all the time! I think that both men and women should share the kitchen as well, both need to put effort into cooking the dinners. A guy shouldn't expect top have dinner put on the table every day and every time he gets home from work. Yeah the famous excuse will be " I worked all day and I am tired". I think that you are right when people always assume the woman should cook the food in the house and every time the guy wants to cook they make the comment they hope the house does not burn down. This is probably why when you date a girl they always seem to ask do you cook? and what do you cook? I guess women really look for a man to cook, they see it as brownie points :)
