Skits in Thurs Class

Class on Thursday was fun. Six of us were assigned to do three skits, but each person had to be the opposite sex. All three skits definitely showed the "usual" and biased thoughts that people have when the situations are brought up. But afterwards I started to think more of the people that don't act like that. I was basing my football performance off of my brother, ex-boyfriends, friends/acquaintances, and movies, but I know many other people who wouldn't act like a "dumb jock." (And I'm not saying that people who act like that are dumb jocks, because my brother definitely isn't!) But when I thought of that I started to feel a little bad that I categorized all guys who watch football to be like that and feel like a couple skits are needed to really show the different situations. I didn't see the beginning of the skit with the girls shopping but I wish I had. It's funny but there are also a lot of girls who aren't like that. For instance I highly disliked shopping my whole life until recently. I would get frustrated, my eyes would sting from the lighting, and I wouldn’t like anything I had found. I was one of those people that just wanted my mom to shop for me. But now that I’m older and more individual I prefer to go shopping with friends and sometimes say what the boys were saying. But I definitely know a lot of girls who do act like that when they shop.
