Emily Smith commented on the blog post ACLU: Dividing classes by sex promotes harmful stereotypes 8 months, 3 weeks ago · View
I went to an all girls school (http://www.stcuthberts.school.nz) and absolutely loved it. I felt that gender stereotypes were broken. There were all the same ‘roles’, jocks, studios types, cheerleader types e.t.c. except they were ALL filled with women. We got a powerful education, achieving top scores in the country, in a nation where women’s suffrage [...]

I’m in grad school, studying to be an elementary teacher. I’m VERY interested in teaching gender/being gender conscious with my future students. I’m aware that the choices a teacher makes in literature can shape the values of the class as a whole (Jacobson, 2011). I also realize that when a child has a book that [...]

I’m in grad school, studying to be an elementary teacher. I’m VERY interested in teaching gender/being gender conscious with my future students. I’m aware that the choices a teacher makes in literature can shape the values of the class as a whole (Jacobson, 2011). I also realize that when a child has a book that they can personally identify with, the weight of the world goes away (Dewitt, 2012). One of my concerns is that studies show that literature often investigates single student variables, such as race or gender, rather than the impact of multiple student characteristics on classroom interaction (Sadker, 1991). I was hoping for some book recommendations for elementary-aged students. Any good suggestions? PLEASE e-mail me at es9781a@student.american.edu

I have to agree with much that has been said here. I was referring to men who barely know me and refuse to hear ‘no’ as an answer. I understand that sometimes people change their mind, but I have to agree with Natasha that it’s not within 5 min of being hit on by a [...]

Often I find that when a man makes a move on me and I say I’m not interested, he will persistently keep trying until I say I have a boyfriend. What irks me about this is that the hypothetical nonexistent man has more of a voice than the very real me. It would be one [...]

I called. They are very friendly, and willing to discuss and talk about things. They’ll even add you as a consultant for future add campaigns.

Hugh Hefner can father children at 65yrs old and nobody blinks an eye, but a woman in her late 30’s who chooses to focus on both a career and motherhood is called ”selfish and self-centered”.
