Blogs are for loosurs

The other day I woke up and went out to judge and subjugate women. I didn’t brush my teeth or take a showur or wash my face. Even in France I would have been considered smelly. I put on some ratty old clothes over my well-used underwear that hadn’t been changed for quite a while. I did take the effert to turn them inside out, so that got at least another week of use out of them. I decided to go to school, but showed up an hour late cause being on time is for loosurs.

In my first class, I sat down and stretched my body out of the chair to take up as much room as possible. I didn’t do my homework because I was way too busy playing Xbox the night before; doing homework is for losers.

The rest of the day I slacked off and thought about what I was going to do after school that day. It was a Friday, so my friends and I were planning to get down that night. Whenever the teacher asked me a question, I shrugged and let some nerd answer it. Paying attention in class is for losers.

After school I went and met up with my bro’s. It was a crazy night, we got toatally wasted and it was awesome. We do this every Friday, but it never gets old. Sometimes some loser confronts me and I tell them that doing well in school is for losers. I can always copy off somebody anyway, and if I ever need to write a paper I can just bullsh*t it and use spll check. Spelling rite is for losers anywy.

Weirdley, nobody ever really brought up my situation before as being a typical slacker mail before some square English teacher told us to write a blog about it. But blogging is for losers

WoMEN

Females, women, whatever you would like to call them, have always been dominated by men. Their fragile bodies were unfit for working in the fields, tasks only the strong, muscular men could perform. Yes, hundreds of years ago this might have been the case, but times have changed. Women can do the same tasks as men, yet, they are still viewed as weak and incompetent creatures. There is a much larger percent of women working at a desk compared to men. Both are equally qualified, but it still seems that women are better at their dainty jobs. When it comes to children, women have always been the ones to take care of them, while their husbands bring home the bacon. Did it ever occur to the man that maybe his wife doesn’t want to be stuck at home with their four crying children? Each parent should take equal care of the child that they both created together, not leaving the dainty job for the woman simply because its tradition. Women are known to be bad drivers. Although this remains true for certain individuals who actually are a safety hazard, there is almost an equal ratio of men who are also bad drivers. Even the simple words that describe someone’s gender set women lesser to men. Man, male, and men are all found in forms of a womans, or Females gender. A person’s gender does not define who they are or who they will become, and it should not. Cultures around the world have made this decision for every single person, and simply because they were born a girl or a boy. Let that individual decide for themselves whether they want to work with heavy machinery or design clothes for a living.

Mitch's discussion of gender stereotypes

I definitely believe that although there are still gender stereotypes today, they are much less a part of everyday life than they used to be. Some of the male stereotypes that exist are that all guys like video games. That definitely comes from the fact that the games have a much larger male audience than female one. I do like games, and I don’t feel like this stereotype really limits or anything like that, so it’s not too bad like other ones could be. There is definitely also the male stoner-slacker stereotype. I guess this is grounded in some reality, I mean, there are definitely stoner-slacker guys out there, but not all of us are. I’m not a stoner or a slacker. The origin of the stereotype though might also be the decreasing motivation. I don’t know, it probably has to do with the stuff mentioned in the article about how females are taking over. Anyway though, I don’t necessarily think it is bad if someone naturally falls into a stereotype, like, for example if a woman is actually a bad driver. But if, however, the stereotype is what determines what a person is, then it is bad, but just fitting into one isn’t the end of the world.

I guess the only thing that I should complain about is that the music choice of the girls in this classroom isn’t exactly my favorite. Pick something else. That would be my stereotype: the people in my grade don’t exactly like the best music, but the guys aren’t much better. Not exactly a gender stereotype, but still, something to mention nonetheless.

- Gender Sterotypes -

I truly believe that there are gender stereo types today. Over the years there has been countless offenses towards women and their driving skills. No one knows there the rumors began, nor do women know why they are still being told they are horrible drivers. Some people might be thinking that because the make is a stronger being and rule the house that they would be the ones to drive. Which would cause the male to become a better driver.
Today, "woman's driving" is more like a joke than an insult, however it can still be taken as very offensive and rude. Scientific studies show that women are in fact safer drivers because we are more aware of our surroundings. Perhaps the jokes started because men drive more because of work....but that doesn't make woman's driving worse.
Another common stereotype that is around these days it that women are cleaner then men. This I believe to be a major stereo type men can be as clean as women, but they make it seem like they don't care as much as women. Women are just thought to be cleaner because we dress up and do our make up, this is only because the women want to impress the men. Men are sought out to be lazy stoners, it may seem like they are because they may think its uncool and not worth the effort.
Stereotyping has become more of an issue now a days and has changed in the past 30 years.

does gender matter

Every women should have the same rights as any man. However, gender does matter, because we are all physically different. Men are built to be stronger.

"Yeah, I mean I cut wood because I like to and I'm stronger. My wife cooks because she likes to, and she's better at it. But that doesn't mean I don't cook and she doesn't cut wood."
- Mr. Lavender

Obviously, Women and men are different in many ways. Through out history women have always been in the "barefoot and pregnant" shadow, which basically means that women stay home and take care of kids while men go out and work. These days, Women play an almost eqaul roll in the workplace (women earn 75cents and men earn $1 for doing the same job.)

gender

Gender play a role in every persons life. For men it is different, the stereotype is that they are strong and powerful, where as women have the stereotype as they can not even compete with a man in anyway. that is completely not true! I know women that are stronger and faster than some guys. Women are just as capable as men, and this plays a role in my life. Being a female there are supposedly limitations. Whether i am playing hockey or driving a car there is a stereotype. Girls cant check...that is demeaning for women saying we cant handle a little physical contact, but we have girls on our team that play with the boys in their league as well as ours. Driving, is another concept that really frustrates me. i am 100 percent positive i am a better driver than most guys, and i know a lot of women are better than the guys i know driving. But at the same time when we have all these limitations and stereotypes it is super fun to go around and do something that is a "manly" thing and do it better than a guy. As far as opportunities go there aren't that many things that only women can do and men cant, which isn't that big of a deal for me. But limitations, again there aren't many. School wise there is no difference, at home there are some things that are different. when my dad goes out shooting with his friends he takes my brother and never invites me, but if he goes alone he always takes me, i dont really get that. Gender doesn't necessarily play a part in my life, stereotypes are the problem. The fact that people think men are stronger, more powerful, and more capable is bull!!! Because if women wanted to do anything they are more than capable!

Gender Stereotypes

Gender stereotypes have not been particularly relevant in my life thus far, but I realize they do exist. Yesterday, Iris, Riley and I discussed some typical gender stereotypes. We noticed that often times, males are considered inconsiderate. They can sometimes lack manners, hygiene, motivation and consideration towards women. Chivalry isn’t dead and it should never die. Even though women have risen as strong independent power holders, men should still show respect to them by being gentlemen. Also, it is obvious that men have not realized that women are rising in power. Women of any race can hold commanding positions, whether it is in the armed forces, politics, or economics. Men still make jokes about how a woman’s place is at home, or better yet, in the kitchen, when it is a fact that more women today are having jobs outside of them home leaving the men are taking over some household duties. Another point that we noticed that bothered all of us a little more personally is that if a guy dates multiple girls, they are considered cool “players”. But if a woman were to do that, everyone would consider her activity to be promiscuous. These are just a few of the gender stereotypes that I believe will always exist in some ways, just because of the general differences between the sexes.
