Using readings from the class thus far, consider thefollowing:
Gender normative patterns of communication. What consequences dowomen face when norms are broken? What are the benefits?
Can language, or ways of speaking, be used a form of resistanceto the hetero-patriarchy?
Further:
Should women \"tone down\" how they talk to each other, and tomen/gender neutral?
What about men? What role do they have in language about ortowards women?
Discuss language about women.
Last, briefly reflect: How do you feel when someone uses asexist term when addressing or discussing a woman/women? Is itappropriate?
