Blog #28

  1. Carl Jung explains how to be whole by showing how stereotypes affect both genders. They take away are self motivation to pursue happiness. The books explains becoming whole through a poem by Nancy R. Smith called "For Every Women".
  2. One of the things Jesus did that was not stearotypically masculine was crying. He cried for the death of his friend Lazarus. Also showing leadership and strenght through love was another thing that he did.
  3. I think the drill instructer pushed it to far. Men are still highly demanded to show agressivness and strength but not that much.
  4. Sojourner Truth argued that she has done everything a man can do and that she has also been puniched for her actions as a man would but have not been rewarded because God was not a women therefor women can't have any power. She mentions how God came from a women and a man and that we should all be treated equal.
  5. "For every woman who was not taught the intricacies of an automobile, there is a man who was not taught the satisfacation of cooking" is the line that speaks to me the most since I have always enjoyed cooking and I been practicing it for a long time. It makes me think that stereotypes shouldn't stop you on pursuing something you love to do.
