please give me your input Posted: 02-20-08 10:58am
how would you say being a girl/woman has
shaped you as an individual?
how does it shape the way you relate to
others?
i am totally thankful for as much as you
can give me!

I was a huge tomboy before I met my
fiancee. He basically turned me into a
girly girl. But before hand I was
basically a guy in my actions. Although
there were situations where I was the
'girl'. I like being around people and
because of this, I've always been
talkative. But since not seeing anyone for
about 7 months now, I find it hard to look
at anyone in the eye when talking to them.
Which bothers me more than it should.
But girl wise, I find myself now expecting
him to open doors for me and things. I
almost find myself acting like 'back
when'. Walking behind him, not talking
unless I'm talked to. Before I could give
a hoot, but there's just something about
him that changed me...

I don't know how to answer this because I
can't compare it to anything.

for example. i wrote being a woman has
helped shaped me because i am more
determined in order to fight the
stereotypes facing women. and i can relate
to people because as a woman i tend to be
more empitetic than aman would be

a theory written by Carol Gilligan, women
are always more of a caring individual and
think of things in a way that benifit all
people not just male or females.
we dont do things just because society
says we should or follow rules or fairness
like men, we think more on someone caring
for us. for example: theres a new thing
going out in business' where if you reach
a certain age your put on retitement
leave. women would go about this
differntly and say we should find a
differnt job they can do thats not very
physical or hard to do because as long as
they can still contribute we shouldnt stop
them from working. Men see this as if they
cant do their job and we have to do all
these things to accomidate them, we should
retite them and find someone to fill their
place.
