(More Than) Grrrl Power! Girls Studies at UCF

So, yeah, girls can get pregnant. But your son can get a girl pregnant. Does that make you less responsible for the baby? I don't know. This article is interesting, especially since it comes with a pretty convincing statistic. It's a little scary to think that people would choose the sex of their babies, thereby creating an unequal population where it's impossible for women to meet men and make more children. I think maybe the preference for boys is due to the gender roles that society chooses for children. Girls will be too emotional and sensative. Boys will like sports and be tough. Or maybe that's not it at all. Enjoy!

I wanted to find some relevant topics to post on the blog so I googled Girls and was surprised to see that more than 75% of the hits that came on the first page were of sexualized women or of adult nature. This goes to show how intertwined females are to males objective of sexiness.

We are supposed to be this extremely developed country. There are over 80 countries that have more women in nation parliament than the U.S. (this is including Pakistan and China)

I am so excited to see the final product.

Here's an article on CNN interviewing Kathleen Hanna (Bikini Kill) on her new music, other people's music, and the music industry as a whole. Amongst other things. It's great.

Great girl movie that shows a struggle most of us females encounter throughout school, and how it is so easy for a girl to ruin her reputation, simply because she is a girl. With ideas that come from the Scarlett Letter this is a great movie for girls to watch. if you haven't seen it i recommend it. I enjoyed it.

I thought this was really interesting and applied to this class. I hope you all have the opportunity to look at this information so we can all work to end sex slavery. I have enjoyed reading all of your posts! Enjoy your summer. Kathryn Rudder http://thecnnfreedomproject.blogs.cnn.com/2011/06/23/demi-moore-sees-plight-of-rescued-sex-slaves/?hpt=hp_c2
