We cant do it all
This blog is mainly a reaction to the reading about pop culture gone wild. It brings up a point that I have thought about since the beginning of gender and conflict class. This point is the contradiction of what boys are looking for in the ideal woman. They want a girl who's available but unattainable, a lesbian who likes men. be a virgin but sexy. If a girl is both of these contradictions then she is obviously acting on one front. I was thinking about weather This made me ask myself if I though most girls are naturally party animal sex maniacs or conservative girls that like to read a book with some hot milk on Friday nights. I cant answer this question but it leads me back to the class discussion that we had two classes ago with Dr.Widman. In this class he was talking about the hook up culture. According to study's that he sighted woman do not actually like hookups and that this culture will eventually die. This means that either woman do not know what they want, or women know they don't like hooking up but do it anyway because of a sense of competition. The article talks about how movies, porn and shows like Girls Gone Wild make it hard to "develop an authentic sexuality" but i can be done. The author suggest girls stop getting so drunk, ask themselves if they are having fun, if it feels goo and if they want it in every situation they are in.
