Research Paper

Topic: Sexist Tendencies/ Stereotypes

Thesis Statement:

In the past it has been clear that the general public has had lesser views of women, than men. Today, though women are recognized as equals, many people continue to return to their roots and make unnoticed sexist remarks.


Subtopic Ideas:
- In the workplace
- Media
- Sports
- Within the Family
- The origin
- Parents
- Environment


Helpful Sites:

- Slightly subtle sexist things

- A larger part of the previous website, a bit on women’s images in
media, but does have other examples of sexism


*Ms. Chiang, I am not sure if my paper is too broad. What do you think? I am having trouble finding online resources so do you have any suggestions?

I only decided to comment this one because it looked lonely but yes I would love to join the ocd club! And also I don't know when I'll be able to teach you to knit. Maybe if Ms.Chiang really starts a knitting club. I could teach you then!

this has nothing to do with the post, but who has a blog and their name starts with a d and they have a picture of a man whose face lookes like dog doodie as their profile picture? that "i know more about you than you know about me" thing was kinda creepy...

Parker, do you mean me? You'll never find out. Unless you can decipher these clues:
1. I have known you for a long time.
2. I was not invited to your Halloween party, but I didn't mind.
3. Today is Friday and I will see you again in a hour or two.
4. I am a friend of many of your friends.
5. I'm not in any of your classes durring the school day.
6. I don't look anything like my profile picture.
7. I know that you were eating a pixie stick two weeks ago.
8. You and Adam look very cute together. Just kidding.

For those of you who do know me, don't give it away. Let's see how long it takes her to guess.
