I have to agree with those who have posted before me. I'm not enjoying "Think Pink" as much as some of the other books. What is funny though, is I remember the Mystery Date game and the Easy Bake oven. I actually owned an Easy Bake myself. I also have to agree that Think Pink is not, for me, is not considering the flip side of what the author and women and men of that day consider to be feminine. This book has been an eye opener for me though. I also agree that although the packaging is different, the idea of Think Pink is still prevelent today. What is good is that in today's society, we have more women who are not fitting and playing up to the stereotypical role of woman. As I stated in class, I have always been an independent person and if I want something done, I don't have to rely on a man to get the job done. I can shovel the snow, mow the lawn and take out the garbage for myself. We are finding that more men are peforming what's considered the the "womens work" at home and they are not belittled or looked down on. I still have some chapters to read but I do agree with Whitney that although womens rights have come a long way that some things will never change. I will say that this class and the readings are confirmation and also more fighting power in letting me know that I am teaching my daughter the right way. GO WOMEN!!
