In “Why the Sexual Objectification of Men Isn’t Just a Bit of Fun” by Peter Lucas, I found the examination of female objectification especially striking. Lucas discusses how women are often portrayed either as passive objects for male pleasure or as willing participants in their own objectification.

In “Buying Myself Back: When Does a Model Own Her Own Image?” by Emily Ratajkowski, I was especially drawn to the discussion on personal image ownership. It interests me how the author shares how her stepfather kept Google alerts on her name, constantly monitoring her public presence.

In “Sexually Objectifying Women Leads Women to Objectify Themselves and Harm Emotional Well-being” by Peter Koval, Elise Holland, and Michelle Stratemeyer, I found the concept of self-objectification particularly thought-provoking.
March 5, 2025 at 7:03 PM
In “On Zoom, Men Don’t Like Feeling Watched and Judged—But Women Are Used to It” by Trena Orchard and Shauna Burke, I was intrigued by how gender influences virtual self-presentation.
March 5, 2025 at 7:02 PM
In Chapter 9: Sexuality Slides by Dr. Herdon, the section on sexual liberation stood out to me. It also interests me how the text critiques the belief that true sexual freedom means saying “yes” to everything, reinforcing a gendered idea of sexuality that favors a more masculine perspective.
March 5, 2025 at 7:01 PM
In Chapter 9: Sexuality Slides by Dr. Herdon, I found the discussion on birth control and reproductive rights particularly compelling. It also interest me in 1960, the introduction of birth control pill allowed individuals to engage in sex with less fear of unintended pregnancy.

In “Who’s the Man? Why the Gender Divide in Same-Sex Relationships is a Farce” by Arwa Mahdawi, I was interested in societal expectations impose traditional gender roles onto same-sex relationships. I feel that in society those in same-sex relationships should be treated equally like everyone else.
March 5, 2025 at 6:29 PM
In “Dilemmas of Involved Fatherhood” by Kathleen Gerson, I was struck by how economic inequality and rigid workplace expectations full-time fatherhood difficult. It also struct me how many fathers express a desire to be more involved, but jobs rarely offer the flexibility accommodating family life.
March 5, 2025 at 6:27 PM
Chapter 10: Families Slides, I found the discussion on traditionalists and neo-traditionalists compelling. However, it interested me the most finding out about how traditionalists believe men should be breadwinners while women handle housework and childcare. Why are there more traditionalists today?
March 5, 2025 at 6:26 PM
In Chapter 10: Families Slides, I was particularly drawn to the discussion of gendered divisions in labor, especially after children arrive. It interests me how that fathers in heterosexual relationships tend to do about two-thirds of the paid labor, while the mother and women do most housework.
March 5, 2025 at 6:24 PM
In Chapter 10: Families Slides, the concept of the “second shift” stood out to me. It interested me based on the term “secound shift” and how I best understood the term “secound shift” as the unpaid labor—such as childcare and household management—that awaits people after their paid jobs.
March 5, 2025 at 6:23 PM
In Chapter 10: Families Slides, I found the discussion on the expansive definition of family particularly interesting. It interested me how overall the traditional family structure—consisting of a husband, a housewife, and children—is often idealized in American culture.
March 5, 2025 at 6:22 PM
In “Women’s Work” by Professor Pat Hudson, I was particularly struck by how historical records have failed to accurately capture women’s labor. It also struct me how Some women even kept their earnings secret from their husbands, either due to legal restrictions or societal expectations.
March 5, 2025 at 6:19 PM
In Chapter 11: Work Slides, I found the discussion on workplace discrimination and the gender wage gap eye-opening. It also interested me learning about how while, The Civil Rights Act outlawed sex-based discrimination, enforcement still relies on individuals and groups fighting legal battles.
March 5, 2025 at 6:18 PM
In Chapter 11: Work Slides, I was particularly drawn to the discussion of gendered job segregation. The idea that men and women drawn to the excitement of air travel pursue different paths—men becoming pilots while women become flight attendants—illustrates how societal norms shape career choices.
March 5, 2025 at 6:17 PM
In Chapter 11: Work Slides, the history of flight attendants in the 1960s and ’70s stood out to me. I also found interesting about airlines overall explicitly sexualized these workers, enforcing strict appearance standards and subjecting them to routine harassment.
March 5, 2025 at 6:17 PM
In Chapter 11: Work Slides, I found the discussion on the gender pay gap particularly compelling. This article led for me to understand that despite young women and nonbinary individuals aspiring to higher education and prestigious careers, men continue to earn more.
March 5, 2025 at 6:16 PM
In “The Death of the Girlboss” by Alex Abad-Santos, the critique of the “girlboss” mentality interestsme. Rachel Hollis’ assertion that being “relatable” means failure encapsulates the problematic nature of this ideology—it promotes success as an individual pursuit rather than a collective struggle.
March 5, 2025 at 6:13 PM
In “The Secret History of Women in the Senate” by Liza Mundy, I found it shocking that only 44 women have ever served in the U.S. Senate. The sexism they’ve faced, from blatant harassment in the past to the persistent sense of not belonging today overall.
March 5, 2025 at 6:13 PM
In Chapter 12: Politics, I was intrigued by the discussion of how state policies are gendered. It also interest me within how the governments decide how strictly to enforce the gender binary and which gender categories to legally recognize.
March 5, 2025 at 6:12 PM
In Chapter 12: Politics, the Black suffrage movement stood out to me. Black women abolitionists leveraged their activism to fight for voting rights, Leaders like Ida B. Wells-Barnett had to organize separately, despite white suffaragists use of racism against blacks.
March 5, 2025 at 6:11 PM
In Chapter 12: Politics, I found the history of The Women’s Suffarage Movement, particularly striking. Early democracies intentionally excluded women, and the fight for suffrage in the 1800s faced strong opposition from those who believed men could represent their wives’ and daughters’ interests.

“Nobody’s free until everybody’s free”-Famie Lou Hamer. This ties within sociology of gender relation to how women are not free because they are facing systematic issues within society that allows for them to be viewed and portrayed as “less than”, including sexism.
