I have a lot of things going on in my mind when it comes to men and women and how stereotypes make the mout to be. THE ARGUEMENT that took place in one of our classes seems to be the talk of the town. While this ARGUEMENT got personal and crossed some lines, I thought it was classic male vs female. The stereotype that men have is that they are blunt, macho, and need to be one up on everyone and everything. Women have the stereotype of not taking charge and just talking around subjects. A majority of guys need to know what you want; they don't want to guess and get it wrong because when they get it wrong the girl gets all butthurt and their time together is no bueno. I personally don't fit the stereotype of how a woman should speak and many of us don't. Amari and I talk to each other at our table in class and the guys who sit with us laugh because we talk like "guys". We are straight forward, say what we feel, and we aren't ashamed to say what we think. Some girls talk around what they want and it drives me crazy. Now most men need to feel like they are in charge and to prove that they can get what they want. They always try to act like they are big and bad when they are not. Most try to act like they know everything when they don't but to say that would be seen as a weakness. I just wish people would look past the stereotypes that have been there forever! Break the mold people like really. Don't hold back your voice and don't be afraid of what others will say.

I completely agree with you Miss Kayla Buono. People need to past the molds and create their new ones. Girls, don't dance around what you want because that is the way it is done. Boys, don't assume that you are the ish and boss people around. Do what you want. Do what is natural. On the other hand, if it is in your nature to do what the sterotype says go head. But do it because that is who you are, don't do it because society says you should.
