Just some things to think about . . .


As we talk about women and what does it mean to be free of constraints read/listen to this piece from
where? NPR.


Next week we will look at language.
This week spend time looking at how men and woman talk with each other.

Your journal for next week

Read excerpts from Deborah Tannen’s You Just Don’t Understand.
How do the masculine and feminine speech patterns that Tannen describes reflect what is valued about being masculine and feminine in our society?  How do these speech patterns (e.g. report v. rapport talk) reflect the society’s preference for certain god and goddess archetypes?
