This weeks in class interview was about rating words as either masculine or feminine in attempts to understand public opinion. My partner was a female, as am I. And, I think surprisingly, we differed a good amount on each of our ratings. I realize I rated the words fairly stereotypically. For example, I rated the word athlete almost completely masculine as well as defends own belief. On the other hand, I admire my partners different outlook. On these words, she was more neutral and even rated defends own beliefs as mostly feminine. My partner would not be considered the "typical" feminine woman, but I believe that is something that I would like to strive for.
