It reminds me of Yeardly Smith, the voice of Lisa Simpson, and how she thought she wasn't a good enough actress to not be a voice actress, and she struggled with ED's beause she was trying to fill shoes she thought she was supposed to

it is really interesting to hear the perspectives of many women in the industry, about their own experiences as women. Something that comes to mind for me when I think of women in the industry and how they have to be careful how they sell what "everyone" wants to be sold

It is very interesting to hear theological scholars discuss the meaning of the leviticus chapter, and also the meaning of other biblical lessons

[krc @krc15064511]

I personally can relate to "if the bible tells me so". I grew up in a devout catholic home, I was president of my campus ministry and a student preacher. It was very hard for me to come out to my parents #cmn432

As the textbook discusses, education is heavily gendered. It is, after all, and institution stemming from preparing upperclass white men on how to be sufficient members of the ruling class.

[krc @krc15064511]

There are many implications that come from this. It seems it effectively gendered education in a way. Even when women were able to get higher educations, they were faced with very rigid and gender normative career choices

[krc @krc15064511]

It all kind of made me realize how gender roles can really affect a person. To this day i still find myself feeling this sense of duty, to uphold an expectation of cleanliness around my house.

After reading the chapter about families, I recognized many instances where my family had demonstrated gender roles. Growing up, I was taught how to homemake. Starting from age 5, my grandma started teaching me how to sew

[krc @krc15064511]

she taught me how to make a thanksgiving dinner when I was around 12. We would always prep her house for thanksgiving, and that is where I learned how to iron and many other homemaking skills.

Nowadays, I see more and more people noticing especially things like grammar in headlines that can use language to seemingly dismiss the importance or weight of events or things that have affected people's lives

[krc @krc15064511]

I think it is super important to be learning about language. A part in the lecture I think summed it up, that our language can actually create unequal power dynamics. Especially between men and women #CMN432

[krc @krc15064511]

I think that recognizing this language and how it constructs our reality, to where we see it in our society and culture, is important in order to dismantle parts of our society that benefit and even put down other members

[krc @krc15064511]

that we use a one size fits all approach. Obviously not all bodies are the same anyway, but to base the sizes and measurements on specific body types I think leaves way too many people behind!

#cmn432 Watching reference man was really fun, I love Sammantha Bee and Amy Hoggart! I was also just discussing with my friend the issue with PPE and female healthcare providers. I think it really is a shame that, especially for things like PPE that people need for work,

because sometimes people are not receptive to certain kinds of jokes or perspectives.

#cmn432 I really related the Humor section of this chapter. I do standup, I even interned for a comedy club, and many people have made sentiments to me that women simply cannot be funny. Also as a woman in comedy, I feel boxed in sometimes on topics I can and cannot talk about

[krc @krc15064511]

At my work we have managers that are mostly women. I have noticed that people listen to and obey men's voice more. Especially if it is a critique of an employee's work.

[krc @krc15064511]

#cmn432 "all this commentary about vocal fry is not actually about the voice, but about power and status, and who is allowed to have it". This quote caught my attention because just "male sounding" voices is something I think about a lot.
