Hi, Everyone,
You must now come up with your own post this week. You must post to your own blog. Be creative with your ideas as gender issues are in our daily life. Start applying our course to your daily existence.
Create your own post. Then, during the week comment to at least one other post from a student in our section. Click on the box below the reply box to send a copy to yourself. If you are still having trouble with finding this box, then, copy your reply and go back to your blog and post it there yourself.
All postings and replies are due this Friday. I will go to each student's blog and should find all your posts and replies on your blog.
It was a frustrating week for some of you, but good job in hanging in there! I think the business class blogs where we share our daily gender issues will add a nice slant to our studies in gender.

What does our facial and body language say about our personality? Our book uses the term kinesics for face and boy motion. What do we think the thought that our facial expression or body movement told our entire story of what were thinking or feeling. There is one thing to look sad or mad, etc. However think about those who are carrying many many burdens and carrying it all in there face at all times. Women are more likely to make use of kinesics for emotional expression where men are more likely to express agression. What does that say about how men express their emotions and how women express their agression?
Growing up as a child one remembers how their parents treated them. For example, a boy might remember his dad for yelling at him. The boy will grow up to remember all the bad things his father did to him and vow to himself not to be like that. Usually one learns from the mistake of others. In this case, a father whose father never spent much time with him would try to spend plenty of time with his own son. The father would remember the pains of his father ignoring him and would not want his son to have those same feelings of loneliness.
“Parents play a major role in shaping children’s understanding of gender in general and their own gender in particular.” (pg 171). Fathers encourage in children to behave according to their gender. In sons, they require them to be more aggressive, independent, competitive and overall tough. For daughters fathers want them to be more emotional, gentle, and lady-like. When a father interacts with children, they tend to talk more with their daughters and engage in activities more with sons. Mothers tend to talk more openly about sensitive subjects such as emotions and relationships with daughters than with sons. Both mothers and fathers talk more personally with daughters than with sons. This explains why daughters tend to explain things more freely with their parents than sons do. Fathers typically spend time with their children playing physically more than taking care of them. They like to engage in play that is more physically exciting and they help children develop skills and conquer challenges. Today’s father talks more with children than fathers in previous generations did. “Fathers more than mothers stretch children by urging them to compete, achieve, take risks, and move beyond their current levels of ability.”(pg 169)
Just wanted to make another post on here, I posted my comment before and again it didnt make it to my page, so just checking again. Hope everyone enjoys the weekend and Sex in the City!! I am sure we will have a lot to talk about once watching that movie. Lets see how many connects we can make from our book (smile).
