Blog Number Four

I am a freshman so I am still thinking about what I want to do here in a few years. I am pretty set right on Pharmacy. I think that Pharmacy is a really good job for women to have it give you time to work and be a mom. Pharmacy is also very high in demand right now so that makes it even better. Looking at the course in Women's Studies that OU offers i have found some very interesting that I would maybe take in the future like:

Body image vs. reality, Internship, Motherhood in Contemporary Society... those are just a few.

If I do end up doing pharmacy then gender would play not huge role but some what of a role because it is a really good job for women to have. Men and women are pharmacists so I'm not sure that gender would really make a difference.

I haven't ever had a real job, I have babysat a lot for some people in my home town. I think that babysitting is mainly a girl job. Parents seem to trust their children with girls better than with boys. I think that when it comes to kids that girls are more responsible.

My history with gender is that everyone should be equal no matter what!!!

Reading Response:

Reading through chapter four of the F-Word I found that the issues that the college women brought up with the survey are the same issues girls today are still facing. I would say that like the survey I think that gender equality is still one of the biggest along with self identity. Self identity is a big one with college girls, I mean college is all about finding out who you really are. Also having a balance in your life is another important social issue. I know that I'm just a freshman so the hard part of college and life hasn't really started yet, but even I have a hard time creating balance in my life. I am a huge perfectionist when it comes to school and grades so to me having good grades is more important then going out on the weekends. I know I should probably find a balance to make time for me.

I still havent been able to find the book FIFE.
