I though it was interesting looking at different religion and how they have oppressed women. Especially Christianity because they had a history of oppressing women . We are so hypcritical on what other societies do. I just think it is such a double standard.
We have no where to judge what other countries to or what women were. If they want to wear veils or cover themselves it is there prerogative. I just think we can't complain about what other people do. I don't know it just annoying to me. I just though the presentation was interesting. Maybe I will have something else to say later this weekend.

Class presentation
I am going to make a disclaimer i might offend people with what I have to say. It not that I am trying to be insensitive it is just how I feel about the issue. I feel like this is a really personal issue. One speech want change my opinion and try to be understanding and accepting but at the same time I have my limits.
First off I enjoyed the model that was introduced. However I have one issue with it I understand the I and E and how it can be represented with and O. That is fine be I understand it i think that it can change. But I don't thing the A can change from a day to day basis; here is my reasoning. It is how other perceive you. My perception of some one is noting going to change. I am always going to see them as male or female. Has a drag queen I am going to identify them as a male or a transgendered as their born sex. Just because they act or dressed like a different gender it does change how I see there sex. Appearance to me does not go into how I label them. I only look at behaviors and attributed when seeing how they are gendered. Even there I don't understand how they can be and O. I might call them the perfect blend of male and female, not that there is a perfect blend but that they have an equal share of both qualities.
After writing this I think the model should be thrown out the window. By calling certain traits or thinks female and male aren't we just recreating the box. Is that not what people want to get rid of. This just recreating the box and saying that there certain quality are male or female. Don't we want to get rid of these labels and consider them equal and that no traits should be gendered. I am just so confused and lost when it comes to this and feel like there is not answer. It is just frustrating. I think that gender is a conflict in itself because you have something things that don't have words for them. I just think that is why I don't like this gender in the filled of conflict because it is not black and white and rules are still being created.
I just don't understand and at the sametime things like this annoy the heck out of me. First I am all for transgendered, gays, lesbians and all the other different type of people to have their rights.
I feel like I am open and accepting to them but at the same time I don't think they should force their opinions and needs on me. I am personally uncomfortable using the same bather with male who is a female because he is transgendered. Yea like Amida said we are doing the same things but seperate bathrooms were created for a reason. I don't mind them using it if it a one stall private bathroom. I am sorry I come conservative family. I think I have branched out some and become more liberal.
I know that was just a bunch of rambling but I don't know how to structure that it is just how I feel.
