Week #3 Post

Hi Everyone,

Please continue to post your own ideas and applications of gender studies to your blog. There were some very creative application made last week. You incorporated such areas of your work and family life in addition to recoginizing it in television and the news. It is nice to see many of you connecting gender communication to your personal lives. I would be curious to read your thoughts when it comes to the music that you listen to, or even to a movie. Anybody going to see Sex in the City the movie? What gender expecatations does it create or violate when it comes to the norm? Or, could the music that you listen to be applied to an concept in our text? Or, how about in your own decisionmaking and/or discussions? Are you recognizing your learned gender patterns as the basis of your own communication? Keep up the discourse with one another and try to stretch yourself to find new areas of your life to apply gender as a means of self-discovery to your gender communication patterns.
