Male culture Female culture

1.  little girls and little boys:  the Tannen experiment
2.  Boys will be Girls and Girls will be Boys  
          facing one another
           talking ABOUT one another or other things
              uniting (sameness) vs. scoring (differences) <-- BOTH create loyalty
                Joke: women in car on the way to Las Vegas and men in car on the way to Las Vegas
3. Jung Animus and Anima:  In class:  start today at 13 min in - to 18:45  5 min 45 sec.
           the sexualized, traditional depiction of m-w goes deep into collective consciousness
4. "Million Dollar Baby"  Is it a breakdown of M-F stereotypes or a depiction of M-F stereotypes? She wants love.  He can provide love.  Even though she chose a masculine profession (fighting) she was COMPLETELY dependent upon him both for training and for career guidance...to the point that she was 100% incapacitated, asking him for one final act to "protect" her and her memory of the crowds roaring with love.  TOTAL FEMININE WOMAN DEPICTION.  TOTAL MAN SAVIOR DEPICTION.
5. Walt in the police station
6.  Media:  commercials DO GIVE women power, but it is the power to buy their products.

Watch this excellent analysis to assist in the depiction next week: moments of gender bending in film.  Operationalization here is 1.  did women talk to each other and 2. if so, did they talk of something other than about men.

FROM a male culture and a female culture TO a culture without sex-gender roles???
Show liberation from categories or show attempted but failed gender bending, e.g., Maggie in "Million Dollar Baby."
Next week written assignment:  Find 3 depictions in film:  moments, not generalities.
  typed, double spaced, proofread
The write up should contain:

1. set up (given circumstances, context)
2. moment
3. what it expresses about man - woman.  Does it imprison each in a category or liberate one or the other from a category.  Does it express deep and unalterable traits.  Does it "assault" the cultural dictate of the M-F distinction?

Have at least 1 of the three that you can "que up" and SHOW - the others can just be written about.
