Document Summary

Feminine attributes masculine attributes emotional aggressive weak polite quiet strong loud. Make money/provider passive leader domestic confident insecure pink lazy sexual blue driven (example) i feel that i would need to use qualities from both sides of the table to describe myself. Gender conventions in the us definitely do not describe my whole personality. While i do consider myself feminine i do not believe that that has to mean what society thinks of as feminine. I can be feminine and still be a leader, be loud, be driven and career-oriented. I can be all of those things but also be insecure and emotional at times. Create a story that illustrates your social location, how you fit into social structures and power dynamics: (example:) I am white, female, straight, abled, jewish, a us citizen. Understanding multiplicity: this directly relates to the concept of intersectionality. A white heterosexual man will not be treated the same as a latino heterosexual man.
