Pink Think is very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very very very, very, very, repetitive. Do you get the idea that one very would have been enough? Thats the same way I feel about the book. Although I did enjoy reading some of the examples, and the book was definitely not the worst book I have ever read, the author could have accomplished it all in one chapter. I also feel that the ideas of the past about women have changed dramatically. There may be a few individuals who act this way, but I do not know any. My stepmother is a career women, and my dad does all the cooking and 1'2 of the housework. My best friend and his wife are both in education and she is in administration, he does all of the housework and cooking. As I have said before, my wife is the bread winner in our family and I do the "1950's womens work in our house".
I have learned from alot from the different perspectives in class, and I can understand if the subjects of the book effected you while growing up, but I would venture to say, that for the majority of the class it has not. I can't remember who said it, but someone mentioned how servers always bring the man the check. To me, that is knit-picky. I don't mind who the bill is handed to or paid by. I am not trying to offend anyone, so please do not pumble me with tampons as I enter the room! I just feel that the type of degrading and lowering of women is not happening as once it was. Women today have the same oppurtunities as men, with the exception of those backwards living indivduals who are trying to hold on to the throne. I say step aside, and the way to change those individuals thoughts is through education.
