Readings

Note: All of these readings are in our textbook, Composing Gender, which may be purchased through Amazon. However, if you're cheap like me, you're also welcome to, instead, access these articles through JSTOR and print them out. Whatever you decide, you'll need to have hard copies of these readings in class for each meeting. Come to class without them and you won't be able to participate :'( :'( :'(

Lorber, Judith, "Night to His Day":The Social Construction of Gender"

Orenstein, Peggy. "What's Wrong with Cinderella?"

Pasciem C,J "Dude, You're a Fag: Adolescent Male Homophobia"
Orbach, Susie, "Losing Bodies"
Colemen, Jenny, "An Introduction to Feminisms"
Gilb, Dagoberto. "Me Macho, You Jane"
Tannen, Deborah. "How Men and Women Use Language Differently"

Other readings will come from blogs (Ms. Magazine, Feministing, Jezebel), poetry, news articles, and videos. These non-academic texts will supplement our more theoretical articles above.
