Flynn

Before You Read:
In high school I noticed that some of the female teachers would favor girls because they were more respectful and quiet during class. The male teachers would favor the male students and talk about sports during class and leave the girls out of the conversation.

Summary:
Flynn's article focuses on the topic of feminism. She also talks about the differences between men and women and how they create text is different from each other.

Synthesis:
I would relate Flynn's article to Wysocki because they both talk about social influence and the importance of women. Bernhardt also relates to Flynn's article because they both discuss how images of women are being interpreted and how women are viewed. Another article that relates to Flynn is Elbow because they both talk about how voice is used to express opinion and men and women often have different voices and opinions that they try to convey.

QD 3:
This means that women's voices are at times still not being heard and that their voice doesn't matter. Other minorities are being silenced just like women and it is important that every ones voices are heard.

Thoughts:
I liked this reading a lot. I thought that it was interesting and liked the way the author argued her points. I was able to understand what the author was arguing clearly. I thought the she made some good points about gender and was able to agree with what she was saying.

Response
Quote
I find this quote to be true and agree with it. Females are very different than males in the developmental process.
“Feminist research and theory emphasize that males and females differ in their developmental processes and in their interactions with others.”
This quote shows that women can do whatever men can do in the world of professions.
 "It is not easy to think like a women in a man's world, in the world of the professions, yet the capacity to do that is a strength which we can try to help our students develop."
This shows how mothers are a great sponsor in a girls identification process.
“Girls identification process, then, are more continuously embedded in and mediated by their ongoing relationship with their mother.”
This quote shows how women are treated unfairly and are judged against. I believe that this is unfair.
“Men become the standard against which woman are judged.”
