Entry One
When discussing who dominates the world: men or women, it is easy to agree that the notion that men are considered superior to women in most cultures is widely accepted. Gender is a social topic that currently has a commanding influence on the media. From controversial matters in the United States such as same-sex marriage, the male to female wage gap, and transgender bathroom policies to much more radical circumstances like women not having the right to drive or get an education, being punished for being sexually assaulted, and ultimately sharing very few of the rights given to men as shown in middle eastern countries, we deduce that gender is a critical subject in our day and age.
When I think about the topic of gender, I generally distinguish two subtopics in my mind: what is going on in the United States and what is going on in the world around us. Over the course of this semester, this is how I will address this matter. I will also attend to the effect that it has on the world we live in today and my views on the conversation at hand.

Joanie - you have selected such a rich topic, one with so many things to discuss as you continue to keep on issues of gender in all facets as you make your way through the course this year. Do be careful not to be too vague or open in your conversation though, only because this is a huge topic and you can get lost in it. Why did you become interested in this topic? What led you to it? Note: this entry has an unusually large gap at the top of it - something you may want to fix before posting the next one.
