Anita Hill is a BOY

Anita Hill is a boy

I loved this article. Once i started reading this article i could not put it down. This was extremely interesting becuase it allowed the mind frame of boys to think and act as women. This is a male prodiminate world where men have all the power. The idea that orenstein allows us as readers to experience the world as a prodiminately women power world really allowed me to think. THIS WOULD ACTUALLY BE NICE....... As a teacher i beleieve Ms. Logan's way of decorating her room full of women instead of male was a difference in reality. I believe that she did this because there is so much emphasis on the idea of how a gender plays a major role in society. In my socialogy class i learned so much about how the world treat women and how is praises men. The qoute that stood out and i believe that all teachers should have this qoute somewhere within their classroom. "Women are one-half of the world's people; they do two-thirds of the world's work; they earn one-tenth of the world's income; they oew one one-hundreth of the world's property." Ms. Logan's classroom is design to allow the women to be the center of the attention while the men are standing on the outside looking in. This forces women to believe they can do anything that they want. They do not have to limit theirselves just because they are born as a female. Ms. Logan wants to encourage her students that even though society potrays female to be one way is not the only way we are.
Her project was a massive shock to me bevuase i did not know that teachers could do that but more immportantly i did not know that the outcome will turn out the way it did. It is important because a female can always play the rtole of a female and male but when the table turn and a male has to become a female, it is ectremely hard for them to do. Reason for that is because why does a male have to become a female when he is already in the position of power, but for him to become a female is an slap in his face. ALL REALITY WOMEN HELP CREATE THE WORLD AND MAKE IT WHAT IT IS TODAY

  2. Hey Chela,

    I think it is crazy too how women today do not even know that they are "allowed" to put up pictures of all women in their classroom. The reading was definitely an eye-opener for me too.
