Women's Complaints!
As we watched and discussed in class when Dave Chappelle spoke about how women come to men for all of their complaints and worries in life, it brought fourth attention many things to me. In life it always seems that men are always trying to help and kiss the feet of the women in the world. This seems odd to me because isn't the stereotype in the United States that men are the bread winners and provide the family with money and a roof over the head of women? Well as we were in class this past Tuesday it seemed to me that the professor and several female students were going along with the predicament that men were not good listeners or writers? This also seems odd to me since Aristotle and some of the most famous philosophers of all times spoke upon and documented some of the most famous sayings of all times. I was very upset when these discussions in class were being spoken of because I believe every male and every female are equal in this world. I do not believe that women have bigger brains than men and I do not believe that men have bigger brains than women! I believe that every female and every male are equal in this world.

Almost-a-graduate, the discussion in class were about general ideas we have about gender differences. Just because we talk about perceived differences, it does not mean these differences actually exist.In fact, that was the purpose of the discussion as well as the Bem test. Furthermore, we decided as a class, that these gender stereotypes are limiting and unfair. That was our conclusion as a class.
